The PCS Interface extends the measurement capability of the HP 8924C to include the PCS frequency range.
The Test Set, when installed with firmware revision A.05.00 or higher, controls the PCS Interface via the rear-
panel serial AUX CONTROL interface. A rocker switch on the PCS Interface rear panel labeled “HP-IB/Ser”
must be in the “Ser” position for serial control.
When switching between the cellular and PCS frequency bands it is not necessary to turn PCS Mode “Off”.
This is because the PCS Interface provides conversion bypass paths (bypassing frequency up-conversion on
the generator path and frequency down-conversion on the analyzer path) for operation in the cellular band.
