  • Page 10: About The Test Set

    Quick-Start About the Test Set The E6630A Wireless Connectivity Test Set contains one or two transmit/receive instruments containing an RF source and an RF analyzer. Each instrument is run by its own instance of the XSA firmware application (a fully loaded test set shows two independent XSA windows on its monitor display).
  • Page 11 Quick-Start The multiport adapter splits the downlink RF signal from the test set’s source into eight RF output paths. All eight output paths can be active at once, or the user can activate a subset of them in any desired combination. Each path interfaces to an RFIO port through a coupler, so that the RFIO port can also return an uplink signal to the analyzer in the test set.
