Agilent 83236B PCS Interface (Pre-Owned)Key Features At A Glance Frequency translation extending 800 MHz test set capabilities into the 1710–1990 MHz PCS band Covers International (1710–1880 MHz), Korean (1715–1870 MHz), and North American (1850–1990 MHz) PCS bands Internal power meter for CW, CDMA, and TDMA (π/4 pulsed or continuous) signals Designed for use with the Agilent 8920B Option 800 TDMA Mobile Test Set and 8924E CDMA Mobile Station Service Test Set Generator output level range from −130 dBm to −20 dBm (RF IN/OUT) with ±1.8 dB level accuracy at 25 °C ±10 °C Power measurement accuracy of ±5% of reading ±2.5 µW at 23 °C ±10 °C after zero and calibration GPIB (IEEE 488.2) and RS-232C serial port standard for automated test integration Locks to an external 10 MHz reference for frequency accuracy in integrated test systems The Agilent 83236B PCS Interface is a cellular-to-PCS frequency translator that extends the measurement capabilities of Agilent's 800 MHz test sets into the PCS frequency band. When combined with Agilent TDMA and CDMA RF test sets, the 83236B provides a PCS-band test solution for both PCS phones and cell sites, building on the established 8920B Option 800 TDMA Mobile Test Set and 8924E CDMA Mobile Station Service Test Set platforms.The 83236B is designed for testing TDMA and CDMA PCS subscriber units and base stations. The frequency translation covers three regional PCS allocations in a single instrument: the International band (1710–1880 MHz), the Korean band (1715–1870 MHz), and the North American band (1850–1990 MHz). The internal power meter supports measurements on CW, CDMA, and TDMA (π/4 pulsed or continuous) signal formats, matching the modulation types used by the host test sets.ValueTronics International has specialized in test and measurement equipment since 1992, and the Agilent 83236B is the kind of instrument where our model fits especially well. PCS-band test systems built around the 8920B and 8924E platforms are still in active service for legacy network maintenance and subscriber equipment work, and finding a verified 83236B with its specific connector set, calibration history, and host test set compatibility confirmed is exactly what we do. Every unit moves through our 20,000 square foot facility at 1675 Cambridge Drive in Elgin, Illinois, where our technicians verify operation against the published Agilent specification before it ships.Brand HeritageHewlett-Packard's test and measurement division was spun off as Agilent Technologies in 1999, and Agilent's electronic measurement business was further separated as Keysight Technologies in 2014. Instruments carrying the Agilent name, including the 83236B, are part of this lineage and remain supported through the Keysight service infrastructure for many legacy product lines.Product Core & Specifications Specification Value Generator Output Path (RF IN/OUT and RF OUT Only connector) Frequency Range — Through Path 824 MHz to 849 MHz; 869 MHz to 894 MHz Frequency Range — Conversion Path 1710 MHz to 1785 MHz; 1805 MHz to 1910 MHz; 1930 MHz to 1990 MHz Frequency Settling Time
