Agilent Technologies Inc. is shipping key test equipment and software necessary to verify operation of devices based on Certified Wireless USB.

Testing devices based on WiMedia ultrawideband and Certified Wireless USB technology requires test equipment that can generate and receive signals with unquestioned integrity. Device designers need to isolate and analyze the functionality of their transmitters and receivers within strict boundary conditions established by the USB-IF.

The Agilent equipment consists of Agilent N7619A signal studio for multiband OFDM UWB software, Agilent N6030A arbitrary waveform generator and Agilent E8267D vector signal generator for receiver testing. For transmitter testing, the Agilent DSO80000B series oscilloscope is used to acquire the signal, and Agilent 89600A vector signal analysis software Option BHB provides signal quality measurements on WiMedia UWB radios based on Certified Wireless USB technology.

Prices for Agilent transmitter testing solutions start at $85,000, with receiver testing solutions starting at $150,000. All hardware and software components are available.
