Agilent Meets WiMAX Forum's Wave 2 System Profiles

Aug. 10, 2007

Agilent Technologies has enhanced its Vector Signal Analyzer (VSA) Signal Studio and Mobile WiMAX Test Set measurement solutions to facilitate testing of the WiMAX Forum's Wave 2 system profiles. These profiles specify options such as multiple input multiple output (MIMO) operation, which uses multiple antennas to enhance the performance of WiMAX systems. The capability of testing Wave 2 system profiles is critical to the successful deployment of Mobile WiMAX products. Agilent's solution is based on Agilent's 89601A VSA and N7615B Signal Studio measurement hardware and software, respectively.
