Agilent’s WiMAX design
validation and production offerings are mainly comprised of the PSA or
MXA Series spectrum analyzers, the ESG or Agilent MXG signal generators,
and WiMAX measurement software package. R&D and conformance type
measurements are covered by the high-performance PSA Series spectrum
analyzer and ESG vector signal generator. Production-type measurements
can be performed with the new MXA and Agilent MXG products. The MXA is
the industry’s fastest signal analyzer with the highest performance of
any midrange analyzer. Agilent MXG signal generators feature the
industry’s best ACPR performance and simplified self maintenance, and
provide the fastest switching speeds available on the market today.
Verification of Agilent’s design validation and production solutions
took place during demonstrations at the WiMAX working group in Seoul
Korea. The WiMAX Forum and subsequent working groups work to promote
global WiMAX deployments and to make WiMAX the platform of choice for
broadband wireless. These successful demonstrations highlight Agilent’s
continued commitment to developing innovative solutions for this
emerging market.
“Agilent continues to demonstrate its leadership in the WiMAX arena via
successful rollout of industry-leading test and measurement solutions,
strategic partnerships around the globe and participation in events like
the WiMAX Forum Plenary Conferences,” said Guy Sene, vice president and
general manager of Agilent’s Signal Analysis Division. “This leadership,
continued innovation and industry participation is crucial to ensuring
today’s engineers have the tools from Agilent they need to create the
next-generation of communication based on WiMAX.”
“Agilent’s broad offering for testing fixed and mobile WiMAX comprises a
number of premier test solutions that span the entire WiMAX lifecycle,”
said Keum Chul Shin, operations and delivery manager for Agilent’s Korea
Measurement Systems Division. “We have now delivered over 15 customer
installations, each demonstrating an exceptional level of performance,
coupled with reliable, repeatable and consistent results. This makes our
offering the most up-to-date, complete and widely accepted answer to
WiMAX R&D, design verification and production test.”

Forum. Its active participation in this organization includes work on a
number of different subcommittees including: the Mobile Task Group
Technical Working Group, the Roaming Working Group, the Application
Business Group of the Application Working Group, and the Mobile Radio
