E1963A W-CDMA Mobile Test Application
For the E5515C (8960) Wireless Communications Test Set Technical Overview
Speed UMTS test plan development and get your devices to market sooner, while ensuring compliance with TS34.121 test standards.
The E1963A W-CDMA Mobile Test Application, when used with the Agilent GSM, GPRS, and EGPRS applications, is the industry standard for Universal Mobile Telecommunications (UMTS) mobile test. Agilent’s 8960 (E5515C) test set provides you with a single hardware platform that covers all the UMTS/3GPP (Third Generation Partnership Project) radio formats: W-CDMA, HSPA, GSM, GPRS, and EGPRS.
Exceed your calibration test time goals with the E1999A-202 fast device tune measurement. Simultaneously calibrate your device’s transmitter (Tx) output power and receiver (Rx) input level across level and frequency. E1999A-202 is a superset of the discontinued E1999A-201. It not only offers the equivalent capabilities of the
E1999A-201, but is also further enhanced to reduce the calibration test times for W-CDMA, cdma2000®, and 1xEV-DO wireless devices with smaller step size support (10 ms step size versus 20 ms step size).
Reach your 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. The HSPA, W-CDMA, GSM, GPRS, and EGPRS product combination delivers a complete and integrated UMTS test solution in a single box. FM radio source, a single channel GPS source (E1999A-206) and PESQ measurement (E1999A-301) are also added into the test box for FM radio receiver calibration, GPS receiver calibration and audio quality test without the need of an external audio analyzer. This fast, one-box approach simplifies your production process and increases your production line effectiveness. With the most complete test functionality for 3GPP TS34.121 Section 5 and 6 tests, E1963A Options 403,405 and 413 provide fast, flexible measurements and options in user equipment (UE) connectivity, giving design and manufacturing test engineers more flexibility in creating test plans and the assurance that designs meet technology standards. The option 423 supports 64QAM downlink modulation and RB test mode connection.

These specifications apply to an E5515C mainframe with Option 003 (or E5515B/T upgraded to equivalent configuration) when used with the latest E1963A test application or the E1987A test application.
Specifications describe the test set’s warranted performance and are valid for the unit’s operation within the stated environmental ranges unless otherwise noted. All specifications are valid after a 30-minute warm-up period of continuous operation.
Supplemental characteristics are intended to provide typical, but non-warranted, performance parameters that may be useful in applying the instrument. These characteristics are shown in italics and labeled as “typical” or “supplemental.” All units shipped from the factory meet these typical numbers at +25 °C ambient temperature without including measurement uncertainty.

Call connection types
HSPA FDD test mode
HSPA FDD test modes are supported by the E1963A. FDD test mode provides Layer 1 functionality only. No higher-level signaling is provided or accepted. No higher-level call processing operations are performed. The test set assumes that the user has appropriately configured the UE.
FDD test mode allows you to test the parametric performance of your UE’s transmitter and receiver
without call processing. In FDD test mode, the test set does not send any signaling information on the downlink. Rather, it continuously generates a downlink signal and searches for a corresponding uplink signal. The UE must synchronize to the downlink signal and send an appropriate uplink signal, which the test set uses to measure the UE’s transmitter and receiver performance. Any changes to the UE configuration must be accomplished by directly sending commands to the UE from a system controller through a proprietary digital interface.

HSPA RB test mode
RB test mode uses signaling to establish a test control connection between the test set and UE, allowing you to test the parametric performance of your UE’s transmitter and receiver. In RB test mode, the test set provides signaling to establish a connection between the UE and the test set. The test set can also signal the UE to change its configuration and alter the uplink signal. The test set measures the uplink signal to determine the UE’s transmitter and receiver performance. RB test mode is operated on the downlink, simultaneously supporting a symmetrical RMC (Reference Measurement Channel) of 12.2 kbps. This symmetrical RMC is typically used for transmitter testing and receiver testing using BER.

To support the HSPA tests and sub-test conditions specified in the 3GPP standards, the Transport Channel Reconfiguration procedure allows you to change HSPA parameters while on a live connection. βc, βd, ∆ACK,∆NACK, ∆CQI, CQI feedback cycle (k), CQI repetition factor, Ack-Nack repetition factor, and default DPCH offset (DOFF) parameters can all be modified without dropping the HSPA connection. In addition, when using the user-defined DL configuration for HSDPA in RB test mode, the number of HARQ processes and UE IR buffer size can be changed on a live HSDPA connection to provide flexibility in testing multiple configurations
The Radio Bearer Reconfiguration allows you to handover from a CS Domain or CS/PS Domain HSDPA RB Test Mode connection or HSPA RB Test Mode connection to a (non-HSDPA/non-HSPA) symmetrical RMC. The Radio Bearer Reconfiguration also allows you to change many other network parameters as part of the reconfiguration.
You can also hand over between channels within a band and between bands using the Physical Channel Reconfiguration procedure. This allows you to test channels in the low, middle, and high frequency portions of each UE-supported band without dropping the HSPA connection.
wireless.agilent/rfcomms/refdocs/wcdma/ wcdma_gen_call_handoffs.php
Inter-system handovers
Almost all UEs support multiple formats today. To speed the process of testing multiple formats with call processing, you can perform handovers from HSPA to GSM and from HSPA to W-CDMA. If your test plan requires testing HSPA followed by GSM, GPRS, and/or EGPRS, you can hand over from an HSPA FRC to GSM test mode using the system handover. If your test plan requires testing W-CDMA as well, you can hand over from an HSPA FRC to a W-CDMA RMC, then use the existing W-CDMA RMC to GSM test mode system handover to test GSM, GPRS, and/or EGPRS.

HSDPA user-defined downlink
Verify your device’s HSDPA throughput at the MAC-hs level with the user-defined downlink (DL) in the E1963A Option 403 and 405. Flexibly configure the 8960 to provide up to a 14.4 Mbps Radio Bearer (RB) test mode signal for testing HS-DSCH category 9 and 10 devices by setting the number of active HS-PDSCHs, transport block size index, modulation type, inter-TTI, number of HARQ processes, and UE incremental redundancy (IR) buffer size. HSPA+ option supports DL 64QAM and throughput is up to 21 Mbps.
