SANTA CLARA, Calif.--([ BUSINESS WIRE ])--Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE:A) will demonstrate its industry-first communications test and measurement solutions for LTE-Advanced, LTE, HSPA+, dual-carrier HSDPA, MIMO, multi-standard radio and voice over LTE, along with 2G/3G solutions for R&D, manufacturing and deployment at the [ Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Feb. 27- March 1 ].

"We are dedicated to helping them achieve a competitive advantage in their mobile communications R&D, manufacturing and deployment environments."

aWe strive to anticipate our customersa needs with first-to-market test solutions such as TD-LTE beamforming MIMO, 42-Mbps throughput test, multi-standard radio and high-throughput manufacturing test,a said Guy Sn, president of Agilentas Electronic Measurement Group. aWe are dedicated to helping them achieve a competitive advantage in their mobile communications R&D, manufacturing and deployment environments.a

Agilent experts at Stand A46 in Hall 1 will demonstrate how to:

• Perform RF and parametric tests to the latest standards for LTE and LTE-Advanced using Agilent[ LTE & LTE-Advanced signal-generation and analysis tools ]such as [ 89600 VSA software ], [ X-Series signal analyzers ] (including the N9030A PXA and the N9020A MXA), [ SystemVue ] and [ Signal Studio ] software.
• Look at up to eight measurement channels for TD-LTE base-station RF antenna beamforming with the [ N7109A ] multichannel signal analyzer.
• Address the challenges of multi-standard radio per 3GPP Release 9 with the [ N9083A MSR X-Series measurement ] applicationoperating on Agilent [ X-Series signal analyzers ], including the N9030A PXA and the N9020A MXA.
• Test 42-Mbps DC-HSDPA IP data throughput using the new [ E5515E platform for the 8960 wireless communications test set ].
• Transform the manufacturing test environment to get new wireless devices to market faster while reducing cost of test with Agilentas new [ EXT wireless communications test set. ] The proven EXT architecture, a part of Agilentas X-Series signal analyzers, features an advanced sequence analyzer optimized for high throughput non-signaling test techniques for 2G/3G/LTE and future wireless devices. A comprehensive suite of supporting software tools, including [ Sequence Studio ], enhanced Signal Studio, chipset control, calibration and test software helps accelerate time-to-volume manufacturing.
• Verify the performance ofLTE user equipment under controlled testconditions usingAgilentas [ E6621A PXT wireless communications test set ], an industry-leading UE performance and conformance test solution for both FDD and TDD. The PXT is a flexible, scalable LTE base-station emulator used to verify that RF parameters, as well as protocol and device functionality, comply with design expectations. New features include voice over LTE test and inter-radio access technology (used in the handover of communications from an LTE network to a 3G or 2G network), plus circuit-switched fallback.
• Test user equipment through different operating modes to characterize battery drain and verify performance in an all-IP IMS-SIP test environment using [ E6966A IMS-SIP server/client ] pair for testing voice, video and SMS services on all-IP networks.
• Simplify and easily perform wireless field tests using the[ 3-GHz to 20-GHz handheld spectrum analyzer ]series. The [ FieldFox RF analyzer ] and the [ FieldFox vector network analyzer ],[ Agilent handheld RF instruments ]are known for beingfield-ready and rugged, with the ability to support multiple RF standards, including CDMA, WCDMA, E-GSM, GSM, LTE 2600, Mobile WiMAXa", DVB-T, and Wi-Fi.

In addition, visitors will be able to see[ videos of Agilentas latest first-to-market ]introductions in 802.11ac and 802.11ad, plus new[ FieldFox videos ].

An updated edition of the widely distributed book a[ LTE and the Evolution to 4G Wireless: Design and Measurement Challenges ]a will be available this summer. New content will include LTE-Advanced, MIMO, functional test and more.
