The number of channels in the test set for fixed traffic-channel measurements has been expanded from three to six, providing greater flexibility for testing hand-overs in multiple bands. Features for adjusting and calibrating phones after repair now include an 11 volt dc source, async test mode for measuring transmitter power, and optional 0.5dB signal generator A signal generator, also known variously as a test signal generator, function generator, tone generator, arbitrary waveform generator, or frequency generator steps for receiver testing. Background The E6392B GSM test set was designed to help technicians cope with the growing number of mobile phones coming into service centers. It provides module-level repair capability for the price of an entry-level "go/no go In engineering and manufacturing, a go/no go (or Go-NoGo) is a process or device used in quality control. In psychology, a go/no-go test requires a participant to perform an action given certain stimuli (e.g. " tester. By extending troubleshooting, repair and calibration activities to local shops, GSM service providers and mobile-phone-repair organizations can keep equipment costs in line and reduce the number of "no trouble found" phones that get sent back to the manufacturer.
