Agilent Technologies has launched the EXT wireless communications test set for wireless device manufacturing. The new test set includes X-Series Measurement Applications and Sequence Studio software along with enhanced Signal Studio software to support the required testing of existing and emerging communication technologies such as LTE. The test set works seamlessly with test modes built into wireless chipsets. This eliminates signaling overhead from the manufacturing test process. It also increases throughput while maintaining the integrity of the test and the quality of the finished product. It offers a high-speed measurement sequencer that gives the fastest approach to both calibration and verification of devices in manufacturing test. The EXT uses Agilent's X-Series Measurement Applications which simplify the creation of calibration and verification routines. The Sequence Studio software application, exclusive to this test set, reduces the time it takes to develop and troubleshoot the advanced fast-sequencing test code used in non-signaling test techniques. Signal Studio allows test engineers to quickly create standards-compliant waveform files to test the receiver and stimulate the chipset to test the transmitter of wireless devices
