Agilent will show the following test and measurement solutions at CTIA WIRELESS 2010:
Agilent’s RF Signal Generation & Analysis solutions  for 2G-4G. The RF test solution features best-in-class signal generation using the Agilent MXG  and PXB  for real-time LTE eNB receiver testing and MIMO receiver implementation. Agilent also will show the industry’s highest performance signal analyzer, the Agilent PXA , which is well suited for RF transmitter testing of cellular standards such as LTE FDD, LTE TDD, HSPA+, and digital video standards such as DVB-T/H.

Agilent’s Smart Phone and Data Modem Test Solutions.   Engineers can test smart phones and wireless devices with a system based on the Agilent 8960  that emulates real users in real networks. This includes testing devices at high data rates such as 21 Mbps HSPA+, and measuring power consumption and mobile device battery life.

Agilent’s Signaling Analyzer Real-Time  for LTE (SART) and Agilent’s Drive Test products verify and optimize new or trial LTE networks. Agilent SART for LTE helps users design and deploy equipment that meets specification and quality standards; verify, troubleshoot and optimize services; accelerate cycle time; and generate profits faster. New capabilities allow wireless carriers and NEMS to analyze an LTE-enabled ten-fold-plus increase in network traffic without sacrificing real-time-to results. Agilent’s Drive Test Solution for LTE phones, includes comprehensive, interactive network performance testing -- throughput, throughput vs. location, carrier-to-interference ratio, MIMO capacity enhancement and channel resource allocation; it can now export results to Agilent’s SART for LTE, providing an industry-unique end-to-end solution from a network core to base-stations to mobiles.

Agilent’s N9923A FieldFox RF Vector Network Analyzer (VNA) . The N9923A is the world’s most accurate handheld VNA and the N9912A FieldFox RF Analyzer  is the world’s most integrated handheld instrument for wireless installation and maintenance. Agilent’s family of handhelds, including the N9340B 3 GHz performance handheld spectrum analyzer  and the N9330B 4 GHz low-cost handheld cable and antenna tester, will also be shown in the Agilent booth.
