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
