Agilent Technologies Introduces Signal Source Enhancement for Generating Real-Time IS-2000 Signals and Cutting Mobile Receiver Test Time.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers Wireless Symposium/Portable by Design SAN JOSE San Jose, city, United States San Jose (sănəzā`, săn hōzā`), city (1990 pop. 782,248), seat of Santa Clara co., W central Calif.; founded 1777, inc. 1850. , Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 22, 2000 Agilent Technologies This article needs sources or references that appear in reliable, third-party publications. Alone, primary sources and sources affiliated with the subject of this article are not sufficient for an accurate encyclopedia article. , Inc. (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :A), a subsidiary of Hewlett-Packard Company, today introduced at the Wireless Symposium/Portable by Design show a way for R&D engineers who develop IS-2000 components or mobile receivers to reliably generate real-time, fully coded, IS-95 and IS-2000 signals to emulate a base station. The new test solution reduces time to market for 3G component and receiver developers by dramatically reducing mobile receiver test time and by providing tests conforming to the latest IS-2000 standards. This real-time option furthers Agilent's commitment to its customers by building upgradability into the signal generator A signal generator, also known variously as a test signal generator, function generator, tone generator, arbitrary waveform generator, or frequency generator platform. Features The real-time option allows user input of long sequences of live data, data rates greater than 144kbps, and compatibility with cdmaOne systems. Engineers can generate multiple Walsh channels at spread rate 1 and radio configurations 1-5 by cascading two or more Agilent ESG-D signal generators. Additionally, it is possible to overlay cdmaOne and IS-2000 signals, allowing mixed mode testing. The new option provides a stimulus for testing capabilities such as sensitivity, dynamic range, spurious immunity, frame error rates, bit error rates, AWGN AWGN Additive White Gaussian Noise AWGN Adaptive White Gaussian Noise interference (with separate noise source), and multipath fading (with separate fading simulator). Background The Agilent ESG-D series of signal generators provide broadband I/Q I/Q Inphase and Quadrature modulation with all major communications formats, including EDGE, 3GPP GPP Government Performance Project GPP General Purpose Processor GPP General Physical Preparedness GPP Gambian People's Party GPP Good Pharmacy Practice GPP Gross Primary Productivity GPP Green Procurement Program GPP Generic Packetized Protocol and Bluetooth. For the latest information on the Agilent ESG-D family, see our Web site at www.agilent.com/find/ESG. U.S. Pricing and Availability The ESG-D Option 201 can be ordered now and is priced at $3,000 when purchased with the new ESG-D, or $3,600 as an upgrade. UN8 hardware, also available now and required for use with Option 201, is priced at $5,150. Agilent ESG-D digital signal generators range from $12,950 to $21,450.
