Description and Model Differences
Agilent 66321B
The Agilent 66321B Mobile Communications DC Source is a high performance dc power source that
provides peak current sourcing and rapid, basic measurements in a compact, half-rack box. It is designed
to simplify the testing of digital wireless communications products. Excellent voltage transient response
characteristics prevent test interruptions due to triggering of low voltage phone shutdown. The 15 volt
source and 5A peak current capability provides compatibility with a number of communications
standards, including: GSM, CDMA, TDMA, PCS, DECT, TERA, PHS, NADC, PHS, and others.
Additional capabilities include fast dynamic measurement and analysis of voltage and current waveforms
combined with precision current measurement. This lets you characterize cellular phone current drain
under all operating conditions. Programmable output resistance lets you emulate the effects of the
internal resistance of a battery. Negative resistance programming lets you compensate for voltage drops
that occur between the remote sense points and the phone terminals. Programmable output compensation
lets you optimize the transient response for various wire lengths and phone capacitances. Figure 2-1
describes the output characteristic of the dc source.
Agilent 66319B
The Agilent 66319B Mobile Communications DC Source includes all of the capabilities of the Agilent
66321B with the addition of a second, electrically-isolated output. Figure 2-2 describes output
characteristic of this second output, which is primarily used to provide voltage or current for a charger
input on the device under test. The second output has all of the basic programmable features as the main
output, with the exception of the waveform measurement capability, open sense lead detect capability,
resistance programming, overvoltage protection, and low and middle current measurement ranges.
Agilent 66321D and 66319D
The Agilent 66321D and 66319D Mobile Communications DC Sources also contain an auxiliary DVM,
with input terminals located on the rear panel. This provides limited, low voltage dc and ac measurement
capability, which can be used to monitor test point voltages on the unit under test as well as on the test
fixture. The common mode voltage range is from −4.5 Vdc to +25 Vdc relative to the minus terminal of
output 1. The DVM is programmable from the front panel of the instrument as well as remotely using
SCPI programming commands.
