Agilent annouces a commercially available test solution for the CPRI (Common Public Radio Interface) standard. CPRI defines a publicly available specification for the interface between the radio equipment control (REC) and the radio equipment (RE) in a radio basestation. The Agilent N5120A Baseband Studio for CPRI radio equipment test software is an off-the-shelf, full-featured CPRI test solution that provides the REC signals required to stimulate 3G base station RE. Used with the N5101A PCI card and the N5103A high-speed serial interface card for operation, this solution is suitable for manufacturing test engineers testing mobile communication base-station RE and provides the flexibility to support R&D engineers. The N5120A’s support of bi-directional uplink/downlink operation makes it suitable for concurrent testing of the receive and transmit functions of basestation equipment. A real-time BER/BLER testing capability enables testing of receiver sensitivity. Using the N5120A, the engineer can set up carriers and waveforms to send to the RE (downlink). Received CPRI data from the RE can be directed to a disk file, vector signal analysis program or BER measurement utility (uplink). The engineer can also send control and management data to control the RE and receive it from the RE.
