HP 8922H/83220E Test Set Completely Evaluates Performance Of PCS1900/GSM Mobile And Base Stations.PALO ALTO Palo Alto, city, California Palo Alto (păl`ō ăl`tō), city (1990 pop. 55,900), Santa Clara co., W Calif.; inc. 1894. Although primarily residential, Palo Alto has aerospace, electronics, and advanced research industries. , Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 7, 1995-- Hewlett-Packard Company today introduces the fastest and most comprehensive test set available for evaluating the RF performance of GSM(1)-based PCS (1) (Personal Communications Services) Refers to wireless services that emerged after the U.S. government auctioned commercial licenses in 1994 and 1995. This radio spectrum in the 1. (2) mobile and base-station products operating at 1900 MHz (MegaHertZ) One million cycles per second. It is used to measure the transmission speed of electronic devices, including channels, buses and the computer's internal clock. A one-megahertz clock (1 MHz) means some number of bits (16, 32, 64, etc. . With its high testing speed, the HP 8922H base and mobile test set is targeted for medium- and high-volume manufacturing operations Manufacturing operations concern the operation of a facility, as opposed to maintenance, supply and distribution, health, and safety, emergency response, human resources, security, information technology and other infrastructural support organizations. in which reducing test time is a critical issue. The test set's base-station emulator creates a network that faithfully simulates conditions encountered in actual GSM operation. The HP 8922H includes a power meter, a frequency synthesizer A frequency synthesizer is an electronic system for generating any of a range of frequencies from a single fixed timebase or oscillator. They are found in many modern devices, including radio receivers, mobile telephones, radiotelephones, walkie-talkies, CB radios, satellite , an audio synthesizer synthesizer Machine that electronically generates and modifies sounds, frequently with the use of a digital computer, for use in the composition of electronic music and in live performance. , a frequency counter, a digital voltmeter, an audio analyzer, an oscilloscope oscilloscope (əsĭl`əskōp'), electronic device used to produce visual displays corresponding to electrical signals. Displays of such nonelectrical phenomena as the variations of a sound's intensity can be made if the phenomena are , a DSP (1) (Digital Signal Processor) A special-purpose CPU used for digital signal processing applications (see definition #2 below). It provides ultra-fast instruction sequences, such as shift and add, and multiply and add, which are commonly used in math-intensive modulation analyzer and an optional spectrum analyzer. The HP 83220E hardware module extends the frequency range of all HP 8922A functions to 1900 MHz. The HP 8922H test set's test software makes a full complement of measurements automatically, without operator intervention. The instrument can be controlled from its front panel or by an instrument controller or personal computer via IEEE-488 bus. Test routines, which can be tailored for evaluation of specific mobile or base-station products, can be selected by the operator with the touch of a button. Transmitter measurements include power vs. time, modulation phase and frequency error, burst timing and average transmit power. When configured with the optional spectrum analyzer, the HP 8922H will measure pulse on/off ratio and RF-output spectrum as well. The HP 8922H is supported by a wide array of options, including a precision timebase, spectrum analyzer and measurement software. Owners of HP 8922E or 8922G test sets can upgrade to an HP 8922H for $10,000, without rewriting production test code. U.S. PRICE AND DELIVERY HP 8922H/83220E base and mobile test set for PCS1900 $55,000 Delivery for the HP 8922H/83220E is approximately eight weeks from receipt of order.
