Agilent Technologies Reduces Space and Costs for CDMA Mobile Phone Testing.High-tech Writers PALO ALTO Palo Alto, city, California Palo Alto (păl`ō ăl`tō), city (1990 pop. 55,900), Santa Clara co., W Calif.; inc. 1894. Although primarily residential, Palo Alto has aerospace, electronics, and advanced research industries. , Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 28, 2000 Update 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 introduces firmware enhancements to its mobile manufacturing test set for making industry-standard Gated Power and Open Loop Time Response graphical measurements. With the addition of these new measurements to the Agilent E8285A CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) A method for transmitting simultaneous signals over a shared portion of the spectrum. The foremost application of CDMA is the digital cellular phone technology from QUALCOMM that operates in the 800 MHz band and 1.9 GHz PCS band. Mobile Station Test Set, an external spectrum analyzer with CDMA personality is no longer needed to perform the tests described in TIA/EIA-98-A/B/C. Since manufacturers do not have to buy a second piece of equipment, they save on costs and space. The Gated Power measurement reports the time response of an ensemble of power control groups. The Open Loop Time Response measurement reports the time response of the mobile station's output power in response to a step change in the instrument's output power. Both measurements provide graphical and parametric results, comparison to a mask, and pass/fail results. Background The Agilent E8285A is designed for fast, accurate testing of dual-mode and tri-mode CDMA mobile phones. It acts as a calibrated cal·i·brate tr.v. cal·i·brat·ed, cal·i·brat·ing, cal·i·brates 1. To check, adjust, or determine by comparison with a standard (the graduations of a quantitative measuring instrument): , high-performance CDMA base station. It has the necessary features and functions for making parametric and functional measurements on analog, CDMA cellular and CDMA PCS (1) (Personal Communications Services) Refers to wireless services that emerged after the U.S. government auctioned commercial licenses in 1994 and 1995.
