“The closest resource for our requirements of this caliber had been more than 100 miles away, so this new chamber provides substantial savings for us in time, travel and expense,” said Guy Séné, president of Agilent’s Electronic Measurement Group. “An on-site, state-of-the-art facility enhances our test efficiencies, ensures compliance with international standards, and reinforces our commitment to swiftly delivering products with the highest quality and reliability.”
The chamber is equipped with dual antennas and two standards-compliant N9038A MXE EMI receivers; it supports simultaneous measurements of vertical and horizontal polarization up to 18 GHz.
—JDSU is aiming to help speed the testing of LTE cell site sectors by allowing engineers to lock onto a single Physical Cell Identifier (PCI) using a commercial handset. JDSU is building on its RANAdvisor solution by extending its UTRA Radio Frequency Channel Number (UARFCN) locking capabilities to the commercial device, thereby allowing engineers to lock onto the correct LTE cell site sector and eliminating handovers that would require the test to be repeated. Users can select a PCI value of 0 to 503 in PCI Lock Mode and RANAdvisor will not hand over to another cell regardless of network conditions, according to JDSU.
JDSU also announced two new acquisitions and strong quarterly results this week — read more here.
