Introduction

Standard Agilent Technologies ESG family RF signal generators incorporate a broad array of capabilities for testing both analog and digital communications systems. Adding flexible options provides a test solution that will evaluate the performance of a communication system to the requirements of nearly all current and proposed air interface standards. Many test functions can be customized to meet the needs of proprietary and other nonstandard wireless protocols as well. You can configure your instrument to address a wide variety of tests—from altering nearly every aspect of a digital signal or signal operating environment, to creating experimental signals. This flexibility, along with an architecture that accepts future enhancements makes the ESG family an excellent choice for wireless communications system testing now and in the future.

3. For other frequencies, data rates, or bandwidths, please contact your sales representitive.

4. Since the internal modulation source operates over 0.1 Hz to 50 kHz, FM rates above 50 kHz must be supplied externally.

.

2. When applying external I/Q signals with ALC off, output level will vary directly with I/Q input level. Power search is an internal calibration routine used to set output power when ALC is off. The routine disables all modulation inputs, adjusts output power while applying 0.5 V rms

3. Coherent carrier is modulated by FM or

1. Specifications apply for the symbol rates, root raised cosine filter, filter factors (a or BbT) and default scaling factor specified for each standard, and at power levels

≤ +7 dBm (≤ +10 dBm, Option UNB).

2. ACP for TETRA is measured over a 25 kHz bandwidth, with an 18 kHz root raised cosine filter applied at power levels

≤ +4 dBm (≤ +8 dBm, Option UNB).

3. The “channel spacing” determines the offset size of the adjacent and alternate channels: Adjacent channel offset = 1 x channel spacing,

1st alternate channel = 2 x channel spacing, 2nd alternate channel = 3 x channel spacing, etc.

4. TETRA ACP performance is typically < -69 dBc with Option H99 in continuous modulation mode.

5. Supports IS-54 and IS-136 traffic channels only.

Real-time cdma2000 personality


Pilot channel

Walsh 0 (non-adjustable)

Description

Option 201, cdma2000 personality, adds a flexible solution for cdma2000 mobile and base station test to Agilent ESG-D series RF signal generators. Option 201 is a firmware personality that requires Option UN8, (hardware revision C or greater), real-time baseband generator to be installed in the ESG. The fully coded nature of this solution in both forward and reverse mode supports long and short codes, cyclic redundancy checks, convolutional or turbo encoding, interleaving, power control, and complex scrambling. Additional capabilities allow flexible channel configurations with individually adjustable power levels and data rates, customizable user data, and variable chip rates. The option is backwards compatible with IS–95A, in both the base station and mobile simulation modes, through support of radio configuration 1 and 2.

Alternate time slot power level control

(Option UNA, ESG-D series only)

Description

Option 202 is a firmware personality built upon the internal real-time I/Q baseband generator (Option UN8). This option will simulate both uplink and downlink EDGE signals. Data can be generated internally or externally with continuous data, or bursted and framed signals. Use custom filtering and framing to keep pace with the evolving definition of EDGE.

Amplitude is settled within 0.5 dB in 20 µsecs, +4 to –136 dBm at 23 ± 5 °C

1. All specifications apply at 23 ± 5 °C.

2. With ALC OFF, specifications apply after the execution of power search.

With ALC ON, specifications apply for pulse repetition rates

≤ 10 kHz and pulse widths

≥ 5 µs.

3. EDGE and IS-136HS traffic channels have the same physical layer. This EDGE signal can be used to simulate an IS-136HS trafffic channel for component tests.
