Agilent Validated and Performance Optimized 3GPP W-CDMA Reference Signals

N7600B Signal Studio for 3GPP W-CDMA FDD is a powerful software tool that simplifies creation of standard-compliant 3GPP W-CDMA test signals. Easily generate complex and standard-compliant 3GPP W-CDMA, HSPA, and HSPA+ reference signals which are validated and optimized for both component testing and base station receiver design verification and testing.

Easy to Use

Choose from a broad collection of predefined 3GPP base station conformance test models (including home NodeB / Femtocell), physical layer channel setups, fixed reference channels, and uplink transport layer reference channels, or create your own user-defined test signal using an intuitive graphical interface (GUI). Connecting to the signal generator hardware, transferring I/Q waveform files, and configuring waveform and signal parameters is simplified using the intuitive graphical interface, or programmatically using the .NET application programming interface.

Base Station Receiver Testing

Base station receiver testing for HSPA and HSPA+ functionality is simplified through:

• Flexible DTX patterns for CPC simulation
• Configurable HARQ patterns for MIMO and dual-cell feedback
• Settable CQI/CQIs and PCI for MIMO and dual-cell feedback
• Delta ACK/NACK and CQI power indexing

User Equipment Receiver Testing

User equipment receiver testing for W-CDMA and HSDPA functionality is simplified through:

• RMC, HSET, and user-defined configurations
• Predefined configurations for HSET 1-5
• Automatic or custom control of HS-SCCH and HS-PDSCH, including HARQ process support
• Automatic or custom population of BCH message contents
