Achieve more with the Keysight Technologies 8960
Series 10 (E5515C/E) platform and TD-SCDMA_GSM
fast switch test application.
With the E1969A TD-SCDMA_GSM fast switch test application, the 8960 Series 10
(E5515C/E) test set covers TD-SCDMA user equipment (UE) test based on 3GPP
standards. On a single hardware platform, the E5515C/E, all 2G and 3G formats are
supported with corresponding licenses: GSM/GPRS/EGPRS, W-CDMA/HSDPA/HSU-
PA, HSPA+, TD-SCDMA/TD-HSPA, cdma2000^®, 1xEV-DO Rev A/Rev B.
The E1968A GSM/GPRS/EGPRS test application is bundled together with TD-SCDMA/
TD-HSPA options (E1969A-101, E1969A-201, E1969A-403, E1969A-413, E1969A-407,
E1969A-408, E1969A-502, and E1969A-503) in the E1969A to meet dual-mode re-
quirements on all TD-SCDMA/TD-HSPA devices.
E1969A-101 is designed to be used under non-signaling mode without an integrated
TD-SCDMA protocol stack, while E1969A-201 supports signaling mode. E1969A-403
and E1969A-413 support the TD-HSPA data throughput testing in radio bearer (RB)
test mode.
E1969A-407 allows you to enable protocol decoding functionality. Wireless protocol
advisor software supplies messaging for the mobile and network from MAC layer all
the way to IP. Triggering and filtering functionality lets you set up troublesome scenar-
ios, such as intermittent failures. That means you can begin the scenario on Friday and
come back Monday morning to a bounded and focused protocol log of exactly what
happened surrounding the particular issue.
Unlike other technologies supported on the 8960 Series 10, TD-SCDMA uses a test
application instead of a lab application. The E1969A test application, which includes typ-
ical lab application functionality, is accessed using feature options. Combining feature
options with the test application gives you the quickest access to the latest capabilities
and provides a flexible way to tailor the solution to your exact needs.
The TD-SCDMA real-time Vocoder E1969A-408 is another key feature for 8960 TD-SCD-
MA capability. It includes a real time encoder for downlink audio test and decoder for
the uplink test. Together with the external audio generator and analyzer, the 8960 can
perform the phone audio functional test at a phone production or QA station; together
with artificial ear and mouth, the 8960 can do the acoustic test as defined in 3GPP TS
26.131 and TS 26.132.
With the E1959A-501 inter-RAT with TD-LTE and E1969A-502 packet data service, the
previous lab application functionality is available in the E1969A test application. This
gives developers the only instrument available that provides a systematic approach to
root-cause analysis of high throughput issues in the mobile protocol stack, from decoded
L1 to IP layer and inter-RAT.
The newly-released feature option, E1969A-503, allows the 8960 to verify a phone’s per-
formance with voice and data simultaneous service. It supports different simultaneous
services configurations such as AMR 12.2 k with packet data 384 k/384 k, or HSUPA/
HSDPA, and different user scenarios from either data or voice connection to a simulta-
neous service (voice + data) connection.
Reach high-volume production goals by moving prototypes quickly into production with
this test solution’s fast and repeatable measurements, accurate characterization, and ease
of programming. Realize rapid deployment and lower costs by just upgrading software on
your existing 8960 Series 10.
