The Agilent Technologies 8920A RF communication test set is a full-featured, one-box test set designed to meet the service and repair needs of today’s RF wireless communications market. Single keystroke transmitter and receiver testing simplifies radio test. Signaling for multiple formats is supported, including tone sequential, digital pag- ing (CCITT, POCSAG, ZVEI, etc.), DTMF, trunking, and cellular signaling. For cellular phone test, the call processing inter- face emulates a base station, allowing you to auto- matically establish and maintain a cellular link between the test set and an analog cellular phone. The built-in controller allows you to automate measurements and test routines, and control exter- nal instruments. Combined with the Agilent 11807A software, it provides a self-contained, automated radio test solution.
The Agilent 8920A RF Communications Test Set is a full‑featured, one‑box solution for service and repair of RF wireless communications equipment. It includes a built‑in controller, IBASIC computer and optional software for automated test routines.
The datasheet lists the instrument’s frequency ranges, power levels, accuracy, dimensions and a wide range of optional modules such as high‑stability timebase, spectrum analyzer, and low‑level RF power options. Key performance figures and connector specifications are detailed for both the signal generator and RF analyzer functions.
