The Agilent/Keysight 8922P is a multi-band test set engineered for high-volume GSM mobile phone manufacturing. This integrated platform combines RF signal generation and measurement, audio analysis, and DC power delivery in a single chassis to streamline production testing and reduce capital equipment costs. The 8922P delivers dual-band capabilities across 880–960 MHz and 1710–1990 MHz, building on proven architectures from the 8922M and 83220E platforms.
