Advantest R3560 – PDC/PHS receiver test set

The Advantest R3560 is a receiver test set engineered for PDC and PHS mobile communication system validation. It delivers comprehensive measurement capabilities across frequency, level, modulation accuracy, and bit error rate (BER) testing to evaluate receiver performance and sensitivity. The instrument integrates with the Advantest R3465 series modulation spectrum analyzer for coordinated remote control and measurement operations via the R3465 front panel, enabling efficient parameter configuration and data acquisition in both R&D and production environments.

– Technical Specifications

The R3560 functions as a flexible receiver test platform with user-friendly operation suited to development and manufacturing workflows. It connects to the R3465 analyzer through dedicated RF and control interfaces, establishing a unified test system for PDC/PHS device characterization.

– Key Features

• Serial I/O control via R3560 interface cable (Part No. A01274) for R3465 integration
• RF signal path using 50 Ω coaxial connection (Type A01247, NP-NP) between analyzer input and test set output
• Remote parameter setting: frequency, level, modulation type, and measurement functions from R3465 panel
• BER and receiver sensitivity measurements
• GPIB control compatibility with external PC for independent system operation
• Horizontal operation orientation with active cooling fan
• Designed for Japan-based manufacture and distribution

– Typical Applications

• PDC receiver performance validation
• PHS handset and infrastructure testing
• Modulation accuracy assessment
• Receiver sensitivity characterization
• Production test environments requiring automated GPIB control

– Compatibility & Integration

The R3560 operates as a standalone GPIB-controlled instrument or integrates directly with Advantest R3465 series analyzers. When paired with the R3465, front-panel control eliminates the need for external computer interfaces. GPIB operation with external systems requires individual control of R3465 and R3560 ports; R3465 Option 08 does not support R3560-specific GPIB commands. Control functionality depends on Program Loader option (OPT15) version and R3560 main unit firmware compatibility. The instrument requires unobstructed ventilation and operation in environments free from excessive moisture, dust, vibration, and magnetic field interference.
