Agilent Technologies Introduces Industry’s First
Design and Test Solution for 3GPP LTE-Advanced
SANTA CLARA, Calif., Jan. 5, 2011 -- Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) today announced the industry’s first
commercially available 4G system design library for 3GPP Release 10 -- the
W1918 LTE-Advanced library.
The new system design library is available as an option to Agilent’s
SystemVue 2011.03 release software.
Wireless system architects and chipset makers working to provide the 4G network 1-Gbps peak download speed can now
use Agilent’s W1918 LTE-Advanced library for earlier verification of physical layer (PHY) algorithms and system
performance.
Today’s explosion in smart phones is driving wireless operators to accelerate deployment of
3GPP Release 8 (LTE or 3.9G) networks, in order to deliver an order of magnitude increase in peak user capacity,
and the improved user experience it promises. 4G networks such as LTE-Advanced promise to provide this capacity
improvement, but they require a higher level of sophistication to deliver the necessary performance improvement.
Agilent’s new W1918 LTE-Advanced baseband verification library helps system architects, baseband algorithm
developers and component manufacturers deliver on this performance by providing:
- superior intellectual property access to earlier working models of the evolving 4G standard;
- outstanding RF and MIMO channel modeling fidelity;
- integration between multi-language PHY modeling and wideband test equipment; and
- greater RF and baseband design-flow integration.
“As the provider of world-class LTE solutions, Agilent is fully committed to providing engineers with the
resources they need to create the next generation of mobile communication devices based on LTE-Advanced,” said Ron
Nersesian, president of Agilent’s Electronic Measurement Group. “Our delivery of the LTE-Advanced library, almost
concurrently with the new standard itself, is a prime example of that leadership. As the LTE-Advanced standard
evolves, and infrastructure is deployed, we will continue to honor that commitment by working to keep our
customers at the forefront of this technology.”
Key features of the new W1918 LTE-Advanced
library include:
- support for new Rel10 features such as contiguous and non-contiguous carrier aggregation (CA) and downlink
/uplink enhancements;
- support for closed-loop coded throughput simulations with up to 8x8 MIMO with fading and active HARQ feedback;
- simulation-based support for proposed MIMO over-the-air testing with standards-based fading, through optional
W1715 MIMO Channel
library;
- overlay support for 3GPP Release 8; and
- integration with Agilent’s signal generator/signal analyzer families, enabling early R&D validation of both
algorithms and hardware.
U.S. Pricing and Availability
The W1918 LTE-Advanced library is available as an option to
Agilent’s SystemVue 2011.03 release. Both simulation and measurement integration with Agilent instruments will be
showcased at the
Mobile World Congress 2011 in Barcelona Spain, February 14-17, Hall 1, Stand A46. Initial availability of the
library is expected in March 2011.
SystemVue is available now at a starting price of approximately $17,000.
A free 30-day evaluation copy is available at
www.agilent.com/find/eesof-systemvue-evaluation.
