The Wavetek 3600D cellular test set supports all TIA formats, including AMPS, NAMPS, TDMA (IS-54B and IS-136), and extensive test coverage of CDMA (IS-95A/98). All these digital formats are available at PCS frequencies using a self-contained frequency extension module (FEX). Japanese and Korean frequency band specifications are also covered.

Up to four optional modules can be simply installed. Using flash memory and the on-board floppy disk drive, straightforward field upgrades can be made. With the new CDMA module, technicians can perform call processing, transmitter tests, and receiver tests. Built-in AMPS and NAMPS protocols are standard, while PCS coverage is provided with an optional FEX module. Based upon requirements of IS-95A and J-STD-008, the extensive call processing capabilities of the 3600D include registration, authentication, and softer and hard handoffs. In the critical area of power control, closed loop and open loop power control are supported. Speech coding can use pre-recorded, loopback, or an optional 8K/13K Vocoder to check voice quality.

The 3600D signal generator provides pilot, sync, paging, and selectable traffic channels. An Additive White Gaussian Noise source with 30 dB troubleshooting range allows real world receiver testing.

Testing digital phones is simple and effective with the 3600D. Authentication, Call Waiting, SMS, and Calling Number ID test capabilities allow phone features to be thoroughly checked. The standard VSELP Codec allows technicians to check voice quality end-to-end, while the ACELP Voice Codec option tests voice quality for IS-136 PCS phones and preserves loopback voice tests for VSELP or ACELP. Extensive receiver analysis with BER, mobile-reported BER, and MAHO RSSI checks phone performance. For comprehensive transmitter testing, power and frequency measurements, RMS Vector Error, and Peak Vector Error are provided. Magnitude and Phase Error, Origin Offsets, and Burst Amplitude droop allow accurate characterization of the mobile. Accurate and repeatable measurement performance provides confidence in phone testing. A ‘C’ message filter, together with 50 Hz to 300 Hz highpass and 3, 15, and 30 kHz lowpass filters, provides flexibility in evaluating new phones.
