Agilent 8935 series E6380A Power Delta Calibration
The Agilent 8935 (formerly HP 8935) communications test set modified
with either option 200 or R2K and E4432B signal generator test
equipment combination can be used for ISC of IS–2000 CDMA 1X as
well as IS–95A/B operation modes. The power delta calibration is
performed on the Agilent 8935. After the offset value has been
calculated, add it to the TX cable loss value.
Follow the procedure in Table H-3 to perform the Agilent 8935 Power
Delta Calibration procedure.
Table H-3: Agilent 8935 Power Delta Calibration Procedure
Step Action
NOTE
Perform this procedure after test equipment has been allowed to warm–up and stabilize for a minimum
of 60 minutes. After it is warmed up and stabilized, calibrate the test equipment as described in the
“Test Set Calibration” section of Chapter NO TAG.
1
Zero the Power Meter prior to connecting the power sensor to the RF cable from the signal generator.
NOTE
For best accuracy, always re–zero the power meter before connecting the power sensor to the
component being calibrated.
2 Connect a short RF cable between the Agilent 8935 Duplex Out port and the HP437 power sensor
(see Figure H-6).
3 Set the Agilent 8935 signal source as follows:
Measure mode to CDMA Gen
Frequency to the CDMA Calibration target frequency
CW RF Path to IQ
Output Port to Dupl
Data Source to Random
Amplitude to 0 dBm
4 Measure and record the power value reading on the HP437 Power Meter.
5 Record the Power Meter reading as result A ________________________.
6 Turn off the Agilent 8935 signal source output, and disconnect the HP437.
NOTE
Leave the settings on the source Agilent 8935 for convenience in the following steps.
7 Connect the short RF cable between the Agilent 8935 Duplex Out port and the RF–IN/OUT port (see
Figure H-7).
8 Ensure that the source Agilent 8935 settings are the same as in Step 3.
