Agilent Technologies is touting its new E7515A UXM wireless test set as the most highly integrated signalling test set created for functional and RF design validation in the 4G era and beyond.
The UXM provides a broad range of capabilities that enable testing of the newest wireless device designs, delivering LTE-Advanced category 6 now and handling increasingly complex test cases in the future.
In design validation of LTE and LTE-A chipsets and user equipment, the solution enables realistic verification of bidirectional category 6 performance with stable throughput at 300 Mbps downlink. Engineers can further wring out new designs with flexible receiver testing and trusted transmitter measurements. They can go deeper in functional testing with the UXM’s wide range of network emulator capabilities, including complex handover scenarios and VoLTE support.
The UXM also ensures greater confidence in RF performance with flexible automated testing and industry-proven Agilent X-Series measurement science. To keep pace with evolving wireless device designs, its future-ready architecture is built to handle the next advancements in antenna techniques, component carriers and data rates.
With its combination of two independent 100 MHz RF transceivers, the UXM enables multiple cells, carrier aggregation, MIMO up to 4x2, and integrated fading. It also provides built-in servers for extensive functional test applications. As device technologies change, the UXM can evolve as well: its extensible architecture includes upgradable processors, multiple expansion slots and high-speed interconnects.
Users can get up and running quickly with a versatile touch screen that features a new, yet familiar, interface based on popular Agilent solutions. Test teams can leverage their current libraries of test cases with backward-compatible SCPI commands.
