Technical Specifications
RF Generator
These specifications apply to an E6601A mainframe and the
E6833A cdma2000/1xEVDO Calibration Application firmware
revision A.03 or higher. Only feature additions beyond the
E6890A General Purpose Application are included in this document. Specifications describe the test set’s warranted performance and are valid for the unit’s operation within ±10 °C of the
last self alignment. All specifications are valid after a 30-minute
warm-up period of continuous operation with valid self alignment.
If the instrument has been off for longer than 48 hours, a 48-hour
warm-up period followed by a self alignment is required.
Frequency
Supplemental characteristics are intended to provide typical, but
non-warranted, performance parameters that may be useful in
applying the instrument. These characteristics are shown in italics
and labeled as “typical.” All units shipped from the factory meet
these typical numbers at +25 °C ambient temperature without
including measurement uncertainty.

Fast Device Tune Measurement
Measurement method
Allows simultaneous calibration
of a device’s transmitter output
power and receiver input level
across level and frequency in a
single sweep (per frequency
band). The device must operate
in a test mode, which forces it
to transmit a predefined series
of power steps at various
reverse link frequencies, and
simultaneously tune its receiver
to perform measurements (such
as RSSI) of the test set’s signal
at various forward link
frequencies and power levels
Measurement range
