Agilent Technologies and Lime Microsystems Team on Wireless System Testing

By DE Editors

Agilent Technologies and Lime Microsystems announced a custom pairing of test equipment, transceiver technology and control software for testing and evaluating advanced wireless systems. The offering combines Lime's LMS6002D flexible transceiver platform with Agilent's 16900 Series Logic Analyzer.
 
The Lime Microsystems evaluation platform and associated control software allows users to adjust the transceivers uplink and downlink frequencies from 300 MHz to 3.8 GHz, with no gaps, and to set the on-chip channel filters to accommodate all cellular standards. With Agilent test equipment and the transceiver from Lime, customers can generate digital IQ signals using a pattern generator, convert these signals to RF, and analyze the RF signals with Agilents Vector Signal Analyzer software on an Agilent Spectrum Analyzer or wideband oscilloscope.

This setup is supported by a set of Agilent software tools (including the companys Signal Studio), coupled with the Lime user interface, for optimizing the RF parameters on a given standard or frequency band.
