Keysight-Agilent E6651A-506

The E6651A represents a significant breakthrough in mobile WiMAX testing. It offers a unique combination of flexible base station emulation and RF parametric tests in one integrated unit, with support for IEEE 802.16e 2005 Protocol Conformance Test (PCT). This extends Agilent s unmatched portfolio of WiMAX test solutions for development, verification and conformance customers.

The E6651A Mobile WiMAX test set is a universal tool that can be used by different groups within an engineering company - for example, by those focused on protocol development, RF and baseband verification, or application integration - so this test asset never sits idle.

The E6651A provides instrument-grade RF signal generation and signal analysis capability up to 6GHz capable of addressing current and planned WiMAX profiles. A suite of RF measurements can be used for characterization, calibration, and verification of WiMAX transmitter and receiver performance. The addition of the N6422C WiMAX Wireless Test Manager makes it easy to automate test plans and increase test coverage.

To enable mobile stations to be tested to the latest WiMAX standards, MIMO options for Wave 2 testing are available on the E6651A. Capabilities include an additional downlink channel for mobile station testing and support for the following IO-MIMO modes:

* Downlink Space-Time Coding (STC) (Matrix A)
* Downlink Spatial Multiplexing (MIMO) (Matrix B)
* Uplink Collaborative Spatial Multiplexing
