802.16e-2005.
Testing high volumes of Mobile WiMAX devices requires a standard-compliant 802.16e-2005 physical layer test tool. Agilent's new N8300A one-box parametric WiMAX
test set provides the tool and the associated Agilent N6301A Measurement Application ensures fast and accurate measurement analysis of Mobile WiMAX signals.
"Agilent continues to demonstrate its leadership in the Mobile WiMAX arena via the rollout of industry-leading test and measurement solutions like the N8300A and N6301A," said Niels Fache, vice president and general manager of Agilent's Mobile Broadband Division. "That leadership and continued research and development of innovative measurement solutions fully enables engineers to rapidly and confidently design and implement high-quality radio systems, while also clearing the way for successful evolution and deployment of Mobile
WiMAX."
The Agilent N8300A Wireless Networking Test Set is based on an architecture that integrates Agilent's Vector Signal Analysis and Vector Signal Generator hardware, and features an easy-to-use front panel graphical user interface and SCPI command set. Measurement algorithms and software leveraged from WiMAX R&D test tools facilitates fast test development and measurement traceability through the product lifecycle.
"These new products complement Agilent's portfolio of WiMAX test solutions, which span the entire WiMAX lifecycle, from R&D through manufacturing," said C.J. Meurell, European operations general manager for Agilent's Mobile Broadband Division's WiMAX portfolio. "Their superior performance and benefits are further evidence of our commitment to continually updating our Mobile WiMAX measurement solutions to keep pace with evolving engineering requirements."
