Agilent CDMA Base Station Over-Air Maintenance Tool Configuration Guide The Agilent Technologies CDMA Over- Air Maintenance Tool is used to make diagnostic measurements of cdmaone, IS-2000 (cdma2000 1x), and J-STD-008 CDMA base stations over the air. The system software runs on a PC that interfaces with a digital RF receiver or a CDMA mobile phone or both.
The purpose of this configuration guide is to assist you in ordering the correct system configuration for your application. It is designed to be used in conjunction with the Agilent CDMA Over-Air Maintenance Tool Data Sheet (Agilent literature number 5968-8687E), which describes the features and functionality in detail. The Agilent CDMA Over-Air Maintenance Tool for IS-2000 is available as a receiver based system. This document is divided into six parts: Part 1. Basic description of product configuration Part 2. Software options Part 3. Receiver hardware options Part 4. Accessories Part 5. Upgrading existing systems Part 6. Ordering examples Part 6 provides the information required for upgrading existing systems. For example, if you currently own an Agilent E6474A wireless network optimization platform with only phone-based measurement capability, and you want to upgrade it to have combined phone and receiver-based measurement capability, then the information in Part 6 will assist you in ordering the necessary options. Part 1. Basic description of product configuration The E6474A system is made up of software, receiver hardware, and accessories. To order a system, you: 1. Choose the software functionality that you want (option numbers in the 150 s). 2. Choose the receiver hardware that you want (from E645XC family). 3. Choose the accessories that you want (Agilent 86154A and E6473A drive test system accessories). Each system requires an Agilent digital receiver. The system also requires a PC with Windows 95, 98, Windows ME, NT, or 2000 running the measurement software. A GPS receiver and GPS antenna are required to log the position information and provide timing for the receiver CDMA measurements. IMPORTANT: At least one software option and receiver must be ordered for the product configuration to be valid. Windows 95, 98, and NT are U.S. registered trademarks of Microsoft Corporation. 2

Part 2. Software options This part of the document assumes that you are building a new system. If you are adding functionality to an existing system, refer to Part 5, Upgrading existing systems. The following software options are available for the Agilent CDMA Over-Air Maintenance Tool: Option 150: cdmaone and cdma2000 1x code domain power and spectrum mask software license Use Table 1 to determine which software option(s) you require for your application. For a detailed description of the functionality, please refer to the Agilent CDMA Over-Air Maintenance Tool Data Sheet (Agilent literature number 5968-8687E). Table 1. Software functionality Desired functionality Software option(s) required cdmaone and cdma2000 1x code domain power 150 measurements and IS-97 spectrum mask capability Each software order includes the following components: CD with software and documentation Getting Started Guide software license key (attaches to PC parallel or USB port) 4
Part 3. Receiver hardware options This part of the document assumes that you are building a new system. If you are adding functionality to an existing system, refer to Part 5, Upgrading existing systems. The following digital receiver hardware options are available for the CDMA Over-Air Maintenance Tool: E6452C: E6450C: E6457C: E6453C: E6454C: E6456C: Cellular band digital receiver with internal GPS receiver PCS band CDMA/TDMA digital receiver with internal GPS receiver Japan cellular band receiver with internal GPS receiver Korea PCS band receiver with internal GPS receiver PCS band CDMA/GSM receiver PCS band cdma2000/umts receiver Software Option 150 is required to operate Agilent receivers. One software package can control up to four receivers. Internal GPS provides portability and simplifies system configuration. If you require dead reckoning with your GPS, use an external GPS receiver. Agilent RF E645XC receivers come with internal GPS or an external GPS can be added. Agilent offers an external GPS with dead reckoning capability. Refer to Part 4, Accessories. For receiver specifications and a detailed description of the receiver functionality, please refer to the Agilent CDMA Over-Air Maintenance Tool Data Sheet (Agilent literature number 5968-8687E). Select the receiver that covers the frequency band in which you want to make measurements. If you need to make measurements in more than one band, order multiple measurement receivers. Each receiver includes the following components: magnetic-mount RF antenna for the corresponding frequency band TNC-to-type N adapter for RF antenna RS-232 cable for connection to PC 1 cable for connecting in multiple receiver configuration AC/DC power supply 1 DC power cord (cigarette lighter type) 1 mounting kit (brackets and screws for mounting receiver in a vehicle) magnetic-mount GPS antenna with cable 1 Alternatively, Agilent provides optional system accessories that can be used to power and connect simultaneously up to two phones and up to two receivers to the PC. The E6473A option 010 (vehicle-mounted USB hub kit) is provided for drive testing (in-vehicle) environments. Refer to Part 4: Accessories 5
Part 4. Accessories Accessories for the Agilent CDMA Over-Air Maintenance Tool are ordered using the Agilent 86154A or E6473A model numbers. This model number provides an easy way to order accessories. Table 2 lists the accessories that are available. Items in column 1 would typically be ordered with a new E6474A system. Items in column 2 would typically be ordered as replacement parts, as these elements are included with new systems. Table 2.

Part 5. Upgrading existing systems The Agilent E6474A is a scalable system. You can start with one set of capabilities and integrate additional capabilities later. For example: Start with a receiver-based system and upgrade later to include phone-based measurements. The system is made up of software, receiver hardware, and accessories. Upgrading a system is similar to building a new system. You simply order those system elements that you don t currently have. To upgrade a system: 1. Decide what system capability you want. 2. Identify the capability you currently have. 3. Choose the software options that you need to add (option numbers in the 150 s). 4. Choose the hardware options that you need to add (E645XC receivers). 5. Choose the accessories that you need to add (Agilent 86154A and E6473A drive test system accessories). Figure 2 illustrates the process of choosing the specific options to order when you are upgrading an Agilent E6474A system. The CDMA Over-Air Maintenance Tool system is completely scalable with the Agilent E6474A CDMA drive test system. For more information on related products, please refer to the literature listed at the end of this document. Upgrading existing cdmaone systems If you own an older E7490A or E7473A cdmaone system and would like to upgrade receiver hardware and/or system software to cdma2000 1x capability, choose from the following options: 86157A - Upgrades E6450B or E6452A receiver to higher performance C version. Upgrades E7473A Option 111 or E7490A Option 111 code domain power software for cdma2000 1x measurements. E6474A Option 151 - Upgrades E7473A Option 111 or E7490A Option 111 code domain power software for cdma2000 1x measurements (software requires C version receiver for these measurements). 86150C - Upgrades E6450B or E6452A receiver to higher performance C version. 7
