Hi,
I am playing with Agilent Signal Studio for LTE-LTE-Advanced FDD to generate waveform files for standard Base station LTE tests.
Target Instrument is E4433B. I have to generate waveforms for Base station Uplink and Downlink defined in 3GPP test models.

Please help.

Regards.

Hi -

E443xB ESG signal generators were discontinued when the Signal Studio tools were created, so they are not compatible due to a variety of hardware limitations.

Agilent Signal Studio collection are license for playback waveform creation tools. The user interface for all of the Signal Studio applications is fully functional to create and modify waveforms for specific applications such as LTE, but the target generators must be licensed to play back the waveforms that are created and downloaded in that generator.

The compatible generators for Signal Studio are the N5172B EXG, N5182A MXG, N5182B MXG and E4438C ESG.

Please contact your sales rep for options such as trade-in credit for the E4433B.

  Hi tabbott,
  I was able to find one E4438C with licence to load. Now I am running LTE 5 MHz test signal coming out. However there are no option to create 3GPP LTE Test model signal which comply with TM 1.1; TM 3.1 or A1-3; A1-5.
  Is this feature supported by Agilent?

    Hi -
    
    Select Downlink in the tree menu for a Basic LTE FDD R9 carrier, and you will see that we have a Test Model Wizard button in the main screen.
    
    Clicking on that will open the TM Wizard and allow you to select the TM 1.1 through TM 3.3 for Base Station conformance test types.
    
    To see the FRCs for A1-3 or A1-5, you will need to have an Advanced LTE FDD Uplink carrier.
    
    Then selecting Uplink in the tree menu will give you the radio button for UL FRC Wizard.
    
    Opening that will allow you to select the Reference Channel you want.
