eneral Dynamics manu-
factures and markets a
comprehensive line of full-
featured communications system
analyzers. When your base
station and/or subscriber testing
requirements include standard
two-way radio or paging,
ASTRO™, APCO Project 25,
SECURENET™, SMARTNET/
SmartZone™, or iDEN™ proto-
cols, General Dynamics has a
solution for you.
Big Solutions for Any Budget
The R2590 communications
system analyzer is a high-end ana-
lyzer at a low-end price. The unit’s
light weight, small footprint, and
optional internal battery, com-
bine to make it as valuable in the
field as on the bench. Rugged
enough to withstand heavy field
use, the R2600 family of commu-
nications system analyzers con-
sists of three models, each
designed to help you save time
and work more efficiently. With
the functionality of more than a
dozen separate test instruments,
the R2600 family is your total
radio test solution.
Solutions for Project 25
The R2625, the economical
solution, comes standard with
comprehensive P25 diagnostic
capability and DES-OFB encryp-
tion. The R2670 has optional
P25 capability, and includes a
tracking generator, cable fault
finder, and programmable test
setups. Motorola SMARTNET
and SmartZone™ trunking can
be added as well. Each model
has a MTBF of over 33,000
hours and contains the func-
tionality of more than a dozen
test instruments.

hands-on time for technicians.
Using General Dynamics R2625
or R2670 Communications
Systems analyzer, this software
enables the technician to test fre-
quency, power, modulation, dis-
tortion, squelch and SINAD, as
well as any required realignment.

n a single 4-pound (1.8
kilograms) package, the
635 Fluke Networks QuickBERT-
T1 includes all the basic T1 test-
ing capabilities you would
expect in a larger and more
expensive tester. It performs bit-
error tests, detects framing type,
line coding and bit pattern, and
displays signal level, frequency,
clock slips, errors and alarms.
The 635 transmits the most com-
monly used loop codes, includ-
ing HDSL. Full, unframed and
fractional (56 k and 64 k) T1 are
supported, along with display of
signaling and data bits and cap-
ture of DTMF digits. In addition,
individual voice channels can
be monitored on the built-in
speaker or over a headset.
Eleven standard BERT pat-
terns are available, including a
64-bit user-defined pattern. The
635 also includes a “through”
mode where the incoming pat-
tern is retransmitted. Errors—
including bipolar violations,
logic and frame bit—can be
injected to confirm proper han-
dling by the network. Two
receivers permit detection of any
clock slips. Multiple receiver
input types allow terminated,
bridged or monitor (DSX) con-
nections. Either recovered or
internal clock references can be
selected. AMI or B8ZS line coding
can be transmitted and received,
and SF, ESF, SLC96 and unframed
framing are supported.
Here’s what you’ll get:
• A full-featured, hand-held
T1 test set at an affordable
price.
• Instantaneous detection
and display of framing,
line coding, errors, alarms,
level, frequency and more.
• A unit that transmits and
receives common bit error
rate test (BERT) patterns
and includes all common
loop codes, including
HDSL.

he Bird
®
model 5012 is an
easy-to-use, multifunc-
tional, directional power sensor
that measures both forward and
reflected power! If you are looking
for a power measurement product
that can measure true average
power, peak power, burst power,
VSWR, CCDF, crest factor (peak to
average ratio), and return loss
measurements from 350 MHz to
4 GHz—the Wideband Power
Sensor is your solution!
The Bird model 5012 is an
accessory for the model 5000-EX
DPM (the newest addition) to
the Bird Digital Power Meter
Series and the Bird Site Analyzer
Series. Unlike the model 5010
digital power sensor, the new
model 5012 is elementless; there-
fore, the traditional plug-in ele-
ments used in the past are no
longer required to measure
power. The 5012 directly con-
nects to a PC, digital power
meter or site analyzer. The con-
nectivity offered with the model
5012 is a true advantage over the
competition. No Black Box is
needed! Visit TESSCO.com for
more information.

Attenuator
Reduces Signal
Levels from
100 Watts to
100 Milliwatts
ird Electronic Corporation’s
model 100-SA-MFN-30 is a
small, 30 dB broadband attenua-
tor that reduces signal levels from
100 watts to 100 milliwatts or
+10 dBm. An alternative use of
the product as a load is possible if
a low-power coaxial termination
is attached to the output connec-
tor. Other attenuation values
from 1 to 40 dB and frequency
ranges up to 3 GHz are available
with any combination of N or
7/16 connectors. Typical VSWR
is 1.1:1. Fin width and depth
are 2.75 inches; length is 5.845
inches less the connector.
Included are 6-32 tapped holes
for secure mounting. Visit
TESSCO.com or call 800-472-7373
