E5515C/E (8960)
Wireless Communications Test Set
High performance hardware platform for the
8960 Series of mobile device design and
manufacturing test solutions
Technical Overview
The only test set with robust and accurate RF measure-
ments, flexible network emulation and high data rate
performance that allows you to achieve complete wireless
device testing across the development lifecycle.
The E5515C hardware platform for the 8960 wireless communications test
set is the world’s most trusted solution for wireless device manufacturing,
and RF design and verification. The E5515E, designed for high performance,
has improved high data rate hardware, multiple signaling and RF paths, and
increased headroom to support today’s cutting edge 3.5G technologies, such
as 42 Mbps DC-HSDPA and MIMO. Combining the E5515C/E with the 8960
family of embedded software applications creates a cellular network emulator
for testing mobile device RF, baseband and IP data traffic flows. Testing can be
done via call processing or test mode control and provides:
• Industry’s most accurate, repeatable, standards-compliant RF and baseband
measurements
• Stable performance for end-to-end high speed IP data throughput testing
• Industry leading accuracy, reliability and measurement speed
Test performance specifications are documented in the software applications.
Refer to www.agilent.com/find/8960 for available software applications.
Flexible Configuration
and Easy to Order
The 8960 can be configured to either the E5515C or E5515E hardware platform,
depending on the application.
The E5515C platform has three hardware functionality options:
•Option002 – Second RF source for GSM, GPRS and EGPRS technologies
•Option003 – Flexible CDMA base station emulator for today’s CDMA-based
technologies such as cdma2000®, 1xEV-DO, W-CDMA, HSPA and HSPA+.
Also needed for some GSM, GPRS and EGPRS features
• Option004 – Digital bus for fading test solutions used with Agilent N5106A PXB
baseband generator and channel emulator
The E5515E platform includes a second RF source and flexible CDMA base
station emulator. E5515E has one functionality option:
•Option004 – Digital bus for fading test solutions used with the Agilent N5106A
PXB baseband generator and channel emulator
The E5515C is upgradable to E5515E with the following upgrade path:
•E5515CU-80E – Hardware upgrade set for E5515C

Technical Specifications
These specifications apply to any E5515E or E5515C with serial number
US40410101, GB4041010, MY46010000 or higher.
Specifications describe the test set’s warranted performance and are valid for
the unit’s operation within the stated environmental range 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.
These are general specifications that apply to an E5515C or E5515E mainframe
over the 25 °C ±5 °C ambient temperature range. Specific test and lab application
specifications can be found in the library on the 8960 Web site:

Remote programming
GPIB IEEE Standard 488.2
GPIB help Pressing the front panel Help key and then any other key will cause the test set to
display the GPIB syntax for that command at the bottom of the front panel display;
pressing the Help key again exits this mode of operation
Remote front panel lockout Allows remote user to disable the front panel display to improve GPIB measurement
