Wireless Solutions

Development

For a wireless technology to succeed in the

marketplace, it must provide the end user with

an acceptable and reliable level of performance.

Network operators and designers, wireless-device

and antenna manufacturers all need effective

tools to qualify devices at all stages in the product

development sequence.

Agilent Technologies offers world-class test

solutions that perform pre-conformance radio

conformance testing (RCT), radiated performance

testing (RPT) and protocol conformance testing

(PCT). Agilent’s instrumentation is a perfect

complement to ETS-Lindgren’s wireless test

chambers, measurement antennas, DUT positioners

and EMQuest™ software. Combined, the products,

services, experience and expertise of Agilent and

ETS-Lindgren provide a seamlessly integrated

solution for wireless-product performance testing.

SoftwareThe “engine” that powers all of our antenna measurement systems is EMQuest EMQ-100. The software is designed to test wireless device antenna performance for conformance to CTIA and WiMAX Forum™ standards. EMQ-100 performs azimuth pattern measurement and/or full spherical antenna pattern measurement for wireless devices in either transmit or receive mode.

Post-processing calculations include these and other parameters:

total radiated power (TRP) near horizon total radiated power (NHTRP) total isotropic sensitivity (TIS) near horizon total isotropic sensitivity (NHTIS) derivation of antenna half-power beam-width directivity gain radiation efficiency

ETS-Lindgren Wireless Chambers AntennasAntennas have been at the core of our business since the late 1970s. Today, we use the latest computational modeling tools to create the high performance antennas needed to measure the characteristics of tomorrow’s wireless antennas. All of our antennas are calibrated at our own A2LA accredited lab.

Diagonal dual-polarized horns Double-ridged waveguide horns Standard and octave gain horns Resonant-loop and sleeve dipoles Fixed-length balanced dipoles

Positioners & ControllersOur multi-axis positioning system (MAPS™) for Great Circle Cut measurements rotates the wireless device under test (DUT) so TRP and TIS can be measured and displayed as spherical antenna patterns. MAPS provides a 360° of independent rotation in both azimuth and ortho axes, while keeping the test device on the center of both rotation axes. MAPS are constructed with low dielectric materials to minimize the obstruction and distortion of RF-generated fields.

Positioners Light-, medium- and heavy-duty models Fixtures for mounting SAM Phantom, wireless handsets, and laptop devices

± 0.25° positioning accuracy Variable-speed rotation

Controllers Fiber optic control lines Local and remote control via I/O port

ETS-Lindgren has been the leading force in wireless over-the-air (OTA) performance testing since 2002. We developed a system for Part 2 testing that was installed at the first CTIA Authorized Test Lab (CATL). Today, over 75% of all CATLs worldwide use ETS-Lindgren systems. More recently, ETS-Lindgren was the lead technical contributor for the WiMAX Forum Radiated Performance Test Plan (RPT). Again, we developed a system for RPT testing that was installed at the first WiMAX™ Designated Certification Laboratory (WFDCL) and is currently used by all WFDCLs in operation at this time.

Agilent Technologies, the world’s premier measurement company, offers a full range of design, test and management solutions that span the range of wireless technologies. Agilent products cover the lifecycle from early design and development, through volume manufacturing, to network deployment and service assurance. Agilent engineers—experts in test and measurement—have dedicated their careers to understanding the intricacies of evolving wireless technologies to provide you with the solutions you need, when you need them.
