Agilent E5515C
Wireless Communications Test Set
High performance hardware platform for the 8960
family of mobile device design and
manufacturing test solutions
Technical Overview
The only bench top test set hardware platform with performance
for mobile device test across the entire lifecycle – from design
through integration/validation, conformance, manufacturing and
repair.
The high performance E5515C is the hardware platform for the 8960 wireless
communications test set family. Combining the E5515C with software from 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
The 8960 with E5515C speeds mobile device development, increases
manufacturing throughput and minimizes support costs.
Test performance specifications are documented in the software applications.
Refer to www.agilent.com/find/8960 for available software applications.
One test set for design, integration/validation, conformance,
and manufacturing test
Using one test set across the design cycle speeds design and manufacturing
by providing faster and simpler debug and fix cycles, easier problem replication
across groups, higher asset utilization, and reduced support requirements.
The 8960 hardware platform consists of the E5515C base-model and three
hardware functionality options:
• Option 002 – Second RF source for GSM, GPRS and EGPRS
technologies.
• Option 003 – 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.
• Option 004 – Digital Bus option for fading test solutions with
Agilent’s N5115/5101 Baseband Studio applications

Technical Specifications
These specifications apply to an E5515C mainframe for 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 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 website: www.agilent.com/find/8960
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 speed
Implemented functions T6, TE0, L4, LE0, SH1, AH1, RL1, SR1, PP0, DC1, DT0,
C0, and E2
