Agilent Receiver Measurements
In the multi-format environment of today’s wireless networks it is essential to equip your
RF engineers with the right tools. Tools that help them quickly establish and maintain the
planned coverage and quality of your network.
Multiple technology and multi-band measurement support in a single receiver unit,
combined with Agilent’s E6474A Wireless Network Optimization Platform delivers market
leading performance.
• Fast, accurate, network-independent RF measurements for optimization and trouble-
shooting tasks both in the field and in the lab.
• Multi-band (uplink/downlink, up to four RF bands) and multi-technology operation in a
single compact hardware package
• In-built 12-channel GPS (Optional 50-channel) for accurate location measurements
• Software-upgradeable hardware platform for extended product life
• Integral 4-port USB 2.0 hub enabling up to four USB devices with charging.
• Combine with the Agilent E6474A Wireless Network Optimization Platform for drive-
test, service testing, competitive benchmarking and RF troubleshooting.
Application Measurements
Measurements include:
• Spectrum Analyzer
• CW Power
• Channel Power
• GSM BCH Analysis
• GSM Interference Analysis
• WCDMA-UMTS Scrambling Code Analysis (with UMTS measurement software)
With the Agilent drive test system, the phone and receiver measurements can be
combined to provide key optimization information such as missing neighbour and
interference analysis.
