custom software applications - all can be reconfigured in software.This establishes the platform as a dependable long-term investment.

PPeerrffoorrmmaannccee HHiigghhlliigghhttss::

Wide frequency range: The 3901 provides continuous frequencycoverage from 1 MHz to 1 GHz supporting all common professionalmobile system operating bands.

RF power: Direct input of signal power of up to 125 Watts is sup-ported making the 3900 Series compatible with virtually all practicalrequirements for mobile terminal and base station test. The instru-ment is fully protected in the event of excessive power input. For sen-sitive measurement e.g. off-air analysis, a low power input is provid-ed.

Speed: Measurement speed is directly related to processing powerand internal communications. The 3900 Series digital architectureutilizes a mixture of powerful digital signal processors and program-mable logic. Coupled to the use of a compact PCI backplane capableof delivering peak rates of >100 Mbytes/s, this ensures that theinstrument has the power to acquire, synchronize and process data,producing measurement results to the user with the minimum ofdelay.

Accuracy: The all digital architecture of the 3900 Series provideshighly accurate, repeatable measurement e.g signal generation andpower measurement is achieved with an accuracy better than 0.6 dBerror across all frequencies and throughout the full instrument tem-perature range.

I/O capability: The 3900 Series provides a high degree of connec-tivity as standard, thus ensuring maximum flexibility for test systemdesign. Instrument remote control for automated testing is providedusing GPIB but additionally the equipment supports connection to aremote server via Ethernet. Connection of printers and other periph-erals is supported including keyboard, mouse and external monitorconnection to provide expansion of the instrument user interface. Inanticipation of future requirements, two custom interfaces for deviceunder test connection and Digital IF are also provided. Triggeringand synchronization interfaces are provided for measurement, alongwith configurable single-port and dual-port duplex RF input / outputconfiguration.

Rear Panel

Ease of Use: Whether using the 3900 Series manually, remotely orin its AutoTest mode, the user interface is intuitive, highly flexible yetlogical and accessible, without complicated or deeply nested menus.The instrument uses a tiled graphical display, which can be controlledby the front panel keyboard or an external mouse. Tiles can be viewed

maximized showing their full detail or minimized showing key detailand viewed collectively. This means that different combinations ofhardware control, measurement control and results display can begenerated. Combining softkey control together with tile navigationgreatly simplifies operation. The color display produces a bright andsharp daylight readable image which can be output to an externalmonitor. Color is used to simplify testing. Measurement status andresult pass/fail conditions each use different colors. Graphical tracesutilize color to clearly differentiate limit line and measurement traces.

3900 tiled graphical user interface

Result Storage and Printing: AutoTest results and screen imagescan be stored either to the instrument hard disk or exported to a flop-py disk. They can also be output to a printer for hard copy.Instrument settings may be stored and recalled from the hard disk aswell as exported to the floppy drive thus making it possible to trans-fer configuration setups between instruments.

Remote Control: The 3900 Series supports remote control viaGPIB for automated test system control and a VXI pnp VISA driverallows easy test system integration.

Remote Operation: The 3900 Series has X server capability, usingEthernet connection this permits remote operation from anywhere inthe world on a PC running an X client making the 3900 ideal for per-forming remote site monitoring.

The 3900 Series is IP addressable making it possible to remotelydownload periodic software upgrades. This method ensures thatinstruments can be easily and quickly kept up to date with all the lat-est new features.

AutoTest: AutoTest sequences are ideal for service and repair oper-ations. They ensure that testing is performed both efficiently and ina consistent manner for a wide variety of radio types. The user canconfigure how the instrument behaves in the event of a measurementfailure, e.g. pause, abort or ignore. This flexibility helps in circum-stances where the test item has marginal performance or functionsintermittently.

AutoTest sequences are script based. This provides maximum flexi-bility in constructing routines against the specific needs of individualradio types or test circumstances. Default limits are applied but mayalso be modified within the script. Example scripts are available fromthe Aeroflex website.

Cost of Ownership

To manage through life costs, the 3900 comes with a 2 year warrantyas standard. Users can also purchase the 3900 with optional warran-ty extensions. An enhanced standard warranty provides the benefit ofguaranteed product repair time in the event of failure. A standardExtended Warranty provides either 36 or 60 month warranty periodextension and may be purchased inclusive of scheduled calibration.On request Aeroflex can provide customized Premium Warranty sup-port designed around your specific needs.

System Personalities

The 3900 Series can support a number of systems installed concur-rently. The first system personalities available support TETRADigital Trunked radio systems for Mobile Terminal and Base Stationtesting. Two TETRA options are available, option 110 for MobileTerminal testing and option 111 for Base Station testing. Futureproduct releases will expand the range of available system personali-ties.

TETRA

For TETRA applications, the 3900 Series is the successor to theAeroflex IFR 2968 TETRA radio Test Set, the established industrystandard for TETRA R&D, manufacturing, application developmentand service operations. Building upon the experience gained overmany years of TETRA test, the 3900 Series with the TETRA optionsprovides the world’s best solution for testing TETRA radios.Maximizing customer value, product performance and ease of usehave been achieved through careful design with attention given toevery detail.

TETRA System options provide signaling and physical layer meas-urement requirements for testing TETRA radio equipment.Measurements are made in accordance with ETSI EN 300 394-1 foron-channel transmitter and receiver parameters, including transmit-ted RF power, link power control, power profile, frequency error,modulation quality (error vector magnitude), frame alignment andreceiver sensitivity (BER/RBER/MER). Signaling functions supportTIP (Tetra Interoperability Profile) compliant TETRA radios, thusensuring optimum compatibility with TETRA equipment from vari-ous suppliers. Whatever the device under test, the TETRA Systemoptions have the flexibility to measure the various burst types speci-fied by the TETRA standard including normal bursts, control burstsand synchronization bursts.

The TETRA System options are designed for R&D, manufacturing

application development and maintenance requirements. For pro-duction, the 3900 Series offers high measurement speed. As a directbenefit of the high power signal processing capacity of the platform,TETRA measurements are performed up to 9 times faster than itspredecessor. All transmitter measurements are performed concur-rently for each burst captured. Transmitter and receiver measure-ments can also be made concurrently providing a further time saving.

Call Processing Highlights

The 3900 Series provides comprehensive signaling to functionallytest TETRA equipment. The 3900 Series can be freely configured toemulate a TETRA network by selection of the appropriate channelplan, country code, network code, color code, etc. Network configu-ration can be stored as part of the instrument setup. Once config-ured, registration, group attachment and TETRA call types includingGroup call, Private call, Emergency call, Telephone call and Userdefined call can all be tested. Mobile and Network terminated callsetup and clear down are all supported. SDS messages (types 1 to 4and SDS-TL) can be sent or received. SDS-TL support can be usedfor end to end application testing in development and final accept-ance. In this mode the 3900 behaves as an RF modem between anexternal PC and the device under test. Where appropriate calls canbe configured as simplex or duplex, hook signaling or direct setupand with message or transmission trunking.

The 3900 Series TETRA MS System Option displays a range ofmobile reported information relating to registration, group attach-ment, test mode, call type, called party, status messages, text mes-sages and DTMF digits dialed.

TETRA Test Modes T1 and TT Loopback

The 3900 Series implements MS, MS T1, BS and BS T1 as separatesystems with their own parameters making the 3900 easier to usethan its predecessor.

For testing of TETRA receivers, the application provides various T1test signals as defined in ETSI EN 300 394-1 including for mobileequipment;

type 1 TCH/7.2, type 2 SCH/F, type 3 BSCH, type 4 TCH/2.4, type 15 TCH/S and type 17 TCH 4.8

and for base stations:

type 7 TCH/7.2, type 8 SCH/F, type 9 STCH+STCH UL, type 10TCH/2.4, 18 frame PRBS, framed PRBS and unframed PRBS.

T1 test signals provide control information to the mobile to aid test-ing e.g. burst type, max TX power, loopback commands. These T1test signals can be used by the mobile in a test mode to outputreceived demodulated data to a test interface for external processingof receiver BER, MER and PUEM. Alternatively, where supported bythe mobile, the mobile can be commanded to loop back the receiveddata to the 3900 Series which can then perform BER measurementautomatically. In this “T1 loopback mode”, BER, MER and PUEMare measured for user specified numbers of bit or message samples.

When supported by the terminal type, the TETRA MS applicationsupports TT Loopback mode enabling the receiver’s TCH/S BER,MER and RBER performance to be measured with a duplex callsetup. The 3900 Series TETRA option 111 supports T1 loopbackBER / MER / PUEM measurements for base stations.

Results

Result information can be displayed numerically or graphically andwhere appropriate with a choice of dimensions, e.g. power in Watts ordBm. The transmitted power envelope is displayed in the timedomain against the TETRA mask with >70 dB of burst dynamicrange. Close inspection of ramp up/down periods is supported.Modulation quality can be displayed using a variety of formats includ-ing vector diagram, constellation diagram and rotated constellation.Modulation quality can also be displayed as a function of time eitherdirectly, as EVM (error vector magnitude) or as a phase or as ampli-tude versus time. Test limits can be selected from either ETSI spec-ified normal or extreme settings or user defined limits.

Where measurements are made for a number of burst averages, thesoftware maintains a record of the minimum, maximum and runningaverage for each parameter measured. This can be invaluable to aididentification of patterns of behavior when investigating problems.

The TETRA system personalities provide a versatile monitoring fea-ture ideally suited to investigating call processing problems in termi-nals or decoding off air signals from a base station. Demodulated rawsymbol data and channel-decoded data can be collected and displayedfor up to 1000 received bursts. The data in each burst can then beviewed page by page. Errors in decoded data are displayed with awarning to aid fault investigation. Depending upon the mode of oper-ation, the decoded / generated multiframe, frame, slot and sub-slotnumbers are also displayed together with a timestamp.

A sizable scrollable log of time stamped protocol history is also avail-able. This can be viewed on the display, saved internally or exportedto floppy disk. This enables the user to easily verify how a mobile ter-minal responds to commands from the test set or those performed onthe terminal by the user.

Audio Testing

Subjective audio testing is supported for simplex and duplex calls.Audio spoken into the mobile’s microphone is received and stored bythe test set, which then re-transmits the speech so that it is replayedthrough the mobile’s speaker or ear piece with 2 seconds delay added,thus providing an end to end audio quality test. It is also possible tomonitor the terminal audio output during silence or tone stimulation.This allows investigation of audio pickup or noise type problems.
