HP 83236A PCS Interface

Product Summary

The HP 83236A PCS Interface was designed to extend HP 8921A/D TDMA and CDMA measurement capability to the 1850 - 1990 MHz U.S. PCS band.

The HP 83236A hardware can be integrated with existing RF test systems in the field. Adding the HP 83236A to existing HP 8921A/D systems is a low cost way to obtain PCS - band measurement capability.

Product Features

• Cost-effective PCS upgrade to HP 8921A/D Cell Site Test Sets.
  
  
• Internal power meter to maintain power measurement accuracy and speed at PCS-band frequencies.

Product Specifications

PCS specifications apply to HP 83236A operation with continuous wave signals


Generator Output Path (RF In/Out and RF Out Only connector)

Note: To meet generator output path specifications, the 
input signal must be from an HP 8921A/D RF test set with 
the following characteristics; Input Frequency Range: 
824 MHz to 894 MHz and Input Level Range: –70 dBm to –7 dBm.

Frequency Range:
	Through Path: 824 to 849 MHz
		         869 to 894 MHz
	Conversion Path: 1850 to 1990 MHz
Typical Frequency Settling Time:
        <10 msec
Output Level Range
        RF In/Out Connector:  –130 to –20 dBm
        RF Out Only Connector:–130 to –10 dBm
Output Level Settling Time:
        <100 msec
Level Accuracy:
        +/- 1.8 dB, at 25 degrees C +/- 10 degrees C
        +/- 2.0 dB, from 0 to 55 degrees C
        Typically +/- 1.0 dB
