Screens About This Chapter About This Chapter This chapter describes the enhanced HP/Agilent 8922 Series user interface which allows operation with the Agilent 83220A/E. The DCS1800 Test System (Agilent 83220A/E and HP/Agilent 8922) is designed to have the same appearance and feel as the HP/Agilent 8922 Series. Control of the system is carried out using the HP/Agilent 8922 keyboard and display.
Screens Cell Configuration Cell Configuration This screen has a different layout from the GSM900 CELL CONFIGURATION Screen. While positioned differently on the screen, the following areas have the same function and method of operation in GSM900, DCS1800 and PCS1900 mode: Serv Cell Aux BCCH RF Gen Amplitude Control Ch LAI Settable/Activated To Screen With the exception of the ARFCN fields under “Serv Cell” and the “Control Ch” SD/8 mode, each field retains its value after a GSM900/DCS1800 mode change.
Screens Cell Configuration entry in the “BA” and “CA” table behaves as a separate field. Values can be entered using the knob or data keys. “MA1” and “MA2” are each single boolean arrays. Values of 0 or 1 can be entered in each position of the array to point to CA table entries. “MA1” and “MA2” use the same data entry method in GSM900, DCS1800 and PCS1900 modes. “MAIO1” and “MAIO2” are independent fields for GSM900, DCS1800 and PCS1900 operation. NOTE Where = 1 to 16.
Screens Cell Control Cell Control This screen appears unmodified from GSM900 to DCS1800 and PCS1900. However, the TX Level field has a different relationship to RF analyzer amplitude in DCS1800 and PCS1900 than for GSM900. For DCS1800 Operation: RF IN/OUT analyzer ampl = 30 − 2×(TX Level) dBm that is: TX Level = 0 analyzer ampl = 30 dBm TX Level = 13 analyzer ampl = 4 dBm For the HP/Agilent 8922H with firmware B.06.00 or greater the TX levels are extended for DCS1800.
Screens Configure Configure A new field has been added: Radio Type Possible values are: ’GSM900’ | ’DCS1800’ | ’PCS1900’ Selecting DCS1800 or PCS1900 without an Agilent 83220A/E attached and powered on, results in an error message. This field will default to GSM900 after instrument preset or power cycle. Selecting DCS1800 or PCS1900 causes all other screens and range limits to be modified as described in this chapter.

Screens Spectrum Analyzer Spectrum Analyzer When the analyzer attenuator hold feature has been activated, using the Auxiliary Input Atten field, the possible attenuator selections are different in GSM900 than in DCS1800 and PCS1900 mode. In DCS1800 mode, the attenuator can be set in 5 dB steps. In GSM900 mode the attenuator is set in 10 dB steps.
Screens Tests Tests There is an additional selection added to the Procedure field. The new entry is SYS_CAL and invokes a system calibration program. SYS_CAL is a user-initiated calibration routine performed between the HP/Agilent 8922 and the Agilent 83220A. A system calibration should be initiated whenever a new combination of HP/Agilent 8922 and Agilent 83220A are connected together, (or whenever the HP/Agilent 8922 or Agilent 83220A are changed), or after a RAM Initialize from the SERVICE screen.
Screens Entry Limit Modifications Entry Limit Modifications When GSM900 is selected on the CONFIGURE screen, entry fields are identical to the HP/Agilent 8922 Series.
