Hello group,
I have been playing with repeaters for quite some time and now I
finally own a "real" piece of test equipment. An HP 8924c, before
almost dumping more money into one more, one function, piece of
equipment, a spectrum analyzer, I found these 8924c's on
eBay... Shopped for about 6 months and found a 100W version for
less then a K so I'm very pleased.
The manual for this unit is not designed to walk you through any of
the analog test procedures or setup. I've figured some of the simple
stuff out. Duplex tests, spectrum analyzer/tracking gen ect. and I
love this thing so far. Right now before I start dabbling with my
first full on GE Mastr RX alignments I'd like to make some
sensitivity tests (the right way). There's a lot of bells and
whistles on this HP and I think there's some built in sinad
measurement tools. I also would like to know how to make the old
standard 20db reff test as well as the 12db sinad.
Is there any information I missed about using this 8924c's for it's
analog functions, setup and test procedures??? Also I plan on
building a sampler slug for my bird43 other then that what else is
really needed in the tool box for this unit. I plan on using it for
TX/RX alignments, band-pass, notch filter adjustments, duplexer
isolation, antenna and feed line analysis. Sorry for this very noob
of a question but elmers around here with any knowledge of this unit
just don't exist. And my friend with an ifr1200 tried to get me
started on the sinad testing but I think there is an easier
procedure for this HP 8924.c.
Thanks for your time RB's

There's a slew of docs on the 892x series on repeater-builder.
Go to www.repeater-builder.com, scroll down to "test Equipment", then
"HP / Agilent" then scroll down to the 892x stuff.
In fact the last item on the page is "HP 8924C CDMA Mobile Station
Test Set Reference Guide (Firmware Version A.07.04 and above)"
And if you want to write "A newbies introduction to the 8924" feel free to...
we'll put it on the web site...
