Agilent / HP / Keysight 8920B
8920B RF Communications Test Set
Description
The 8920B is a full-function RF test set with accuracy, speed, and flexibility for testing land mobile radios, cellular telephones, and other communications systems while improving throughput and quality in manufacturing.
Option 006 was designed to optimize the measurement range for cellular mobile station test. This option has a 6 dB attenuator at the RF IN/OUT port. It increases the dynamic range of the Agilent 8920B by 2 dB and enables true-average power measurements on TDMA signals using the 83206A (8920B Option 800). Option 006 is recommended for TIA/EIA-136 testing.
Option 016 tests high power transmitters (up to 100 W continuous, 125 W intermittently with a 10 seconds per minute duty cycle). It has a 16 dB fixed attenuator at the RF IN/OUT port.
The Option 020 for the 8920B is a built-in radio interface card for automating module and radio test. It contains 16 parallel data lines, two interrupts, and brings the audio in/out lines and a relay closure out from the MIC/ACC connector on the front panel. These are controlled by the 8920B IBASIC control language.
