Assess Design Readiness with Greater Confidence

Keysight Technologies, Inc.’s E7530A and E7630A LTE/LTE-A test and lab application software run on the E7515A UXM wireless test set, providing the integrated capabilities you need to achieve greater confidence in your UE or chipset design.

The E7530A LTE/LTE-A test application (TA) software provides the tools you need to be confident about your device’s RF performance. The TA includes flexible receiver test, trusted X-Series transmitter measurement science, and basic network emulation. This enables you to set up defined conditions with varying frequencies, power, and modulation. It also allows you to measure to limits and determine the root cause of failures with reliable, repeatable results that can be automated and easily shared. Test from early designs to finished products — the UXM supports measurements with signaling or using test modes, making it easy to “just connect” and focus on RF validation.

The E7630A LTE/LTE-A lab application (LA) software provides both functional and RF test capabilities for overall device design validation. The LA includes the receiver and transmitter test functionality of the TA, plus IP data-based capabilities such as end-to-end data throughput, and advanced network emulation such as complex handover scenarios, sleep modes, and support for Voice over LTE (VoLTE), when paired with Keysight’s E6966B IMS-SIP network emulator software. These added functional test capabilties help you verify connection continuity, data rate performance, concurrent application behavior, battery drain, and protocol messaging.

Ensure LTE/LTE-A Devices Achieve and Sustain Reliable End-to-End IP Data Throughput

The UXM’s built-in fading and noise, integrated applications server, and easy-to-use touch screen interface make it simple to validate your device’s true data performance.

With the E7630A LTE/LTE-A LA software, you can verify maximum IP data performance with stable, bi-directional data throughput for up to 4CC1 downlink (600 Mbps) and 2CC uplink (100 Mbps). Ensure your device will operate as expected in a real-world environment with flexible independent fading and noise for each carrier.

Go Deeper in Functional Test by Emulating a Wide Range of Complex Network Operations

With the UXM’s lab application software, you can validate your device’s functional performance by emulating a wide range of complex network operations and configurations such as mobility, IMS/VoLTE, (F)eICIC, and cat 0 (for machine-to-machine (M2M) communications). You can also characterize battery drain performance with flexible network and sleep mode settings. The UXM’s intuitive touchscreen interface makes it easy to access a wealth of network parameters so you can thoroughly characterize your device’s functional behavior. The UXM lets you quickly validate changes in design from RF to TCP with a comprehensive test of mobile functions right at your desk.

Handovers and mobility

With the UXM’s two independent built-in cells you can validate mobility behavior between LTE cells as well as interRAT handovers between LTE and W-CDMA in a single test set. Validate voice mobility with circuit-switched fallback (CSFB), redirect to LTE, and single radio voice call continuity (SRVCC), and quickly characterize LTE/W-CDMA interRAT performance with automatic negotiation of cell parameters. Easily analyze data throughput during packet-switched (PS) handovers and verify UE behavior during cell reselection scenarios. Connect two UXMs to expand mobility to up to four cells (all controlled from one simple interface), and to handover LTE-A connections with multiple component carriers. You can also connect your UXM to a Keysight 8960 wireless test set to verify a full range of 2G/3G/LTE/LTE-A interRAT handovers and mobility scenarios.

Achieve Greater Confidence in RF Performance

Every UXM test and lab application software product includes the industry-proven X-Series measurement applications for consistent, repeatable transmitter testing. With the X-Series applications you can run measurements based on 3GPP 36.521-1 tests, or use the full range of X-Series capabilities to explore beyond the specifications. The X-Series applications’ comprehensive test coverage, built-in context-sensitive help, and familiar user interface get you up and running quickly, with the flexibility required to check compliance and troubleshoot tough transmitter issues. The X-Series measurement applications closely follow the 3GPP standards, allowing you to stay on the leading edge of your design challenges.

With the UXM’s integrated fading, MIMO, and suite of built-in receiver measurements, you can characterize RF receiver performance under realistic and varying channel conditions, from one simple-to-use interface.

You can also test from early designs to finished products since the UXM supports measurements using signaling or test modes, making it easy to “just connect” and focus on RF validation. Quickly configure the X-Series measurement application via the TA or LA user interface with easy connection setups for aggregation, MAC padding, and RMCs. Or, use the flexible X-Series virtual front panel (VFP) interface to dig deeper into measurement results and test corner-case behaviors.
