Agilent Technologies, Inc. 89601B-BHE LTE TDD Modulation Analysis

Signal analysis

• Standard supported: LTE TDD per 3GPP Release 9
• Modes: downlink (OFDMA), uplink (SC-FDMA); bandwidths from 1.4 to 20 MHz; up to 4x4 MIMO
• Channels & signals: PBCH, PCFICH, PHICH, PDCCH, PDSCH, PMCH, PUCCH, PUSCH, PRACH, P-SS, S-SS, SRS, C-RS, P-RS, MBSFN-RS, UE-RS, DM-RS
• Preset to standard: 1.4 MHz (6 RBs), 3 MHz (15 RBs), 5 MHz (25 RBs), 10 MHz (50 RBs), 15 MHz (75 RBs), 20 MHz (100 RBs)

Measurements

• Analyze overall signal quality with results like RMS and peak EVM, frequency error, I/Q errors, transport layer channel decoding and more
• Pinpoint signal impairments with color-coded traces like EVM vs. symbol, EVM vs. subcarrier, detected allocations (subcarrier vs. symbol), constellation diagram, and frame summary
• Evaluate time and frequency domain behavior with time, spectrum, CCDF, PDF traces
• Auto-detect cell ID, resource blocks (power-based and decoded PDCCH), and power levels

Other features

• LTE FDD (Option BHD), LTE-Advanced TDD (Option BHH), and LTE-Advanced FDD (Option BHG) modulation analysis also available
• Transportable license: resides on your PC/instrument, can be transported to another PC/instrument at any time
• Also available as a Floating license: shared on a network server to be accessed by multiple users

The 89600 VSA software is a comprehensive set of tools for demodulation and vector signal analysis. Option BHE provides a rich set of measurement results and displays for RF and baseband engineers to test their LTE FDD signals to the latest 3GPP TS 36 series standard.

This option can be added as a product upgrade.
