E7530A LTE/LTE-Advanced Test Application

Ensure LTE/LTE-Advanced Pro devices meet today's challenging RF requirements

• Evaluate true CA performance with stable, bidirectional data throughput for up to 5CC¹ downlink and 2CC uplink, including support for FDD-TDD mixed CA, LTE-U/LAA and CSAT and 256 QAM downlink
• Realistically test device performance with two independent 100 MHz RF transceivers enabling multiple cells, carrier aggregation, and up to 8x4 DL MIMO
• Reduce bench-top complexity with easy-to-use integrated fading

Go deeper in functional test by emulating a wide range of complex network operations

• Check LTE intra-RAT and LTE inter-RAT mobility with W-CDMA, TD-SCDMA or GSM using two independent cells (built in), or connect to another UXM or Keysight 8960 to verify multi-cell wireless handover scenarios
• Evaluate end-to-end IMS/VoLTE, WLAN calling/offload, (F)eICIC, and TM9 with flexible network settings in a simple desktop setup
• Ensure your Internet of Things devices meet requirements for stability, power consumption, and interoperability: the UXM supports Cat 1, NB-IoT and CAT-M1 with connected and IDLE mode eDRX for comprehensive battery drain testing
• Quickly check LTE protocol messaging with the UXM's internal logger or thoroughly analyze time-aligned multi-format messaging with Wireshark-based logging software

Achieve greater confidence in RF performance

• Check transmitter compliance and troubleshoot problems with industry-proven X-Series measurement applications
• Reduce test time with two-phone or dual SIM dual active (DSDA) parallel RF test for 2G/3G/4G in a single test set
• Characterize receiver design performance under realistic fading and MIMO scenarios in one simple interface, and simplify your MIMO OTA antenna performance verification with support of all standard test methods
• Easily modify parameters without dropping the connection and watch for changes in RF performance

Gain new insights with a broad range of integrated capabilities for LTE/LTE-Advanced RF design validation

The E7530A LTE/LTE-Advanced Pro test application software runs on the E7515A UXM wireless test set, providing the integrated capabilities you need to achieve greater confidence in your UE or chipset’s RF and functional performance. Realistically test your RF design with integrated fading, flexible receiver testing, and trusted X-Series transmitter measurements. The E7530A and UXM wireless test set allow you to test the newest RF designs, validating LTE-Advanced category 16 performance now and handling more complex requirements later. To add more capabilities such as: multiple component carriers, advanced MIMO techniques, or functional test features including IP data and handovers, choose the appropriate feature options.

¹ Test capability involving three or more cells or component carriers requires connection of two UXMs in an array
