(Business News & Technology News, 4 Sep 2009)

Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) announced it will show its comprehensive set of 4G test solutions for LTE, WiMAX™, WLAN, HSPA, femtocell and MIMO at 4G World, McCormick Place, Chicago, Ill., Sept. 16-17 in Room W-175B. The company will demonstrate a full complement of test solutions for R&D, design verification, manufacturing, protocol conformance and interoperability test, as well as network deployment and maintenance/service quality.
“Our extensive lineup of leading-edge, performance-based systems demonstrates our continued commitment to the full spectrum required for 4G test solutions,” said Ron Nersesian, senior vice president and general manager of Agilent’s Electronic Measurement Group. “Agilent delivers the tools today to empower engineers for the deployment of tomorrow’s 4G-based communications.”
The following demonstrations will take place Wednesday, Sept. 16, 12 p.m. – 6 p.m., and Thursday, Sept. 17, 9 a.m. – 5 p.m.:
Design Simulation, Signal Generation and Analysis Tools
- Verify PHY layer performance of LTE TDD/FDD systems with 2x2 MIMO transmission using Agilent’s SystemVue Electronic System-Level (ESL) Design Software and Agilent’s PXB MIMO receiver tester.
- See tests of sleep and idle mode, MS’s security features, and uplink collaborative MIMO with Agilent E6651A Mobile WiMAX test set.
Network Analysis Tools
- Experience non-linear device test with Agilent’s PNA-X network analyzer and Agilent’s Nonlinear Vector Network Analyzer (NVNA) using Agilent’s ADS X-Parameter simulation.
Protocol and Device Validation Test Solutions
- See demonstrations of 3GPP LTE UE protocol development solutions based on the Agilent PXT (E6620A) Wireless Communications Test Set and the Anite SAT LTE Protocol Development Toolset, available through the Agilent/Anite LTE partnership. These solutions help LTE protocol and device designers rapidly develop, test and debug their designs for applications from early protocol development all the way through to conformance test.
