Chapter 1, Calibrating the Test Set
Calibration Procedures
Calibration Procedures
The list below shows all of the calibration procedures that must be performed
periodically when testing CDMA mobile stations with the Test Set, including
Test Sets configured with an HP 83236B PCS Interface.

"Recommended Calibration Procedures:" on page 25
calibration procedures for various events that could affect the performance of the Test Set.
Guidelines include:
•
After
"Calibrating CDMA Channel Levels" on page 26
(also known as "PCB
CAL") is performed, you must then perform
"Calibrating RF Generator Levels" on
"Calibrating Channel Power Measurements" on page 29
•
It is highly recommended that
"Correcting for RF Path Loss" on page 41
be
performed before using the Test Set to make measurements. This procedure eliminates
the need for adding level offsets to your test code, and extends the Test Set’s operating
range with some mobile stations.
•
A 30-minute warm-up period is recommended to allow the Test Set to reach a stable
operating temperature.
