Enabling new insights into LTE-Advanced Category 6 chipsets and devices, the E7515A UXM wireless test set claims to be the most highly integrated signaling test set yet created for such RF design validation and functional testing. Further, the test set provides a broad range of capabilities not only for testing the newest wireless device designs, but also for handling the increasingly complex test cases of the 4G era and beyond.
In design validation of LTE and LTE-A chipsets and user equipment, the UXM enables realistic verification of bidirectional, category-6 performance with stable throughput at 300-Mbits/s downlink. A wide range of network emulator capabilities, including complex handover scenarios and VoLTE support, let engineers go deeper in functional testing, further wringing out new designs with flexible receiver testing and trusted transmitter measurements. The instrument 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, the test set’s future-ready architecture is built to handle the next advancements in antenna techniques, component carriers, and data rates. With two independent 100-MHz RF transceivers, it enables multiple cells, carrier aggregation, up-to-4×2 MIMO, and integrated fading. The instrument also provides built-in servers for extensive functional test applications. As device technologies change, the test set can evolve as well: Its extensible architecture includes upgradable processors, multiple expansion slots, and high-speed interconnects.
For user efficiency, the instrument provides a versatile touchscreen with a new-yet-familiar interface based on popular Agilent solutions, and test teams can leverage their current libraries of test cases with backward-compatible SCPI commands. The E7515A UXM is available to order now, with volume shipments to begin next quarter.
