Agilent Wireless Test and Measurement Solutions
Agilent technologies is a leader in RF and wireless test and measurement industry. Now-a-days products are becoming very complex due to support of complex modulation schemes viz. 256QAM,OFDM,OFDMA and support of multiple standards(GSM,WCDMA and LTE) in a mobile phone device. This requires testing of all the standards including IRAT(Inter Radio Access Technology) testing in the mobile devices at various stages of the development. Agilent provides one box solution to meet this demand from the industry right from conceptualisation till manufacturing of the wireless devices. These products from Agilent provide mobile phone designers and phone manufacturers with increase in measurement speed,improvement in accuracy of the results for testing mobile devices.
One box test and measurement solution from Agilent supports various wireless standards which include GSM,GPRS,EGPRS,WCDMA,HSPA,CDMA2000,EVDO,IS-95,AMPS,Bluetooth,Zigbee,WLAN(11a/11b/11g/11n),WiMAX(Fixed-16d,Mobile-16e), LTE and LTE-Advanced.As mentioned Agilent's solutions cover both IEEE,3GPP and other evolving wireless standards.
Agilent products both PHY and MAC layers of the devices can be tested. There are products by which even upper layer functionality can also be verified. Typical measurements supported by Agilent's test and measurement products cover power spectrum mask,transmit power versus time curve,CCDF,EVM,channel response, spectral flatness,frequency error,timing error,DC offset,PAPR and more. This helps designers identify any problem at the design/development stage itself.
