Agilent Technologies Inc. and Beceem Communications have announced that they have signed an agreement to develop high-speed manufacturing test solutions for mobile WiMAX devices based on the IEEE 802.16e-2005 standard. Agilent will initially develop a new test system based on the MXA Signal Analyzer and MXG Signal Generator for...

Alcatel-Lucent has announced it was selected by Taiwan’s largest telecommunications provider, Chunghwa Telecom, to deploy Taiwan’s first Universal WiMAX (802.16e-2005) network. The new wireless broadband network will enable Chunghwa Telecom customers in the central commercial district of the densely populated metropolitan area of Taoyuan county to access applications such...

Alvarion recently unveiled its OPEN WiMAX ecosystem revolutionizing the deployment of WiMAX networks. The operator centric, all IP best-of-breed ecosystem is open and standards-based, enabling the optimization of WiMAX networks from core network equipment to consumer electronics, service offerings, and even the end-user's experience. Moreover OPEN WiMAX enables network...

Applied Wave Research (AWR) offers customization tools for particular processes to the Microwave Office (MWO) design environment. The tools needed to adapt a custom process to MWO are a text editor, Model Wizard, the Source Development Kit (SDK) and a MS Visual C++ compiler. The MWO plug-in Model Wizard...

Given the increasing pressure on engineers to speed the R&D process, maximize manufacturing throughput and reduce cost, the need for flexible, highly integrated test and measurement solutions has now been thrust firmly into the spotlight. For engineers developing and manufacturing RF and microwave frequency components, particularly amplifiers, mixers and...

For some time now, test and measurement (T&M) industry leaders have produced exceptional RF vector signal generators (VSG) with wide frequency coverage, superb specifications and a rich feature set. These fine instruments can truly be used for just about any conceivable application… as long as you have the budget....

In preparation for future large-scale deployment of wireless broadband access services across Latin America’s largest market, TVA, one of the leading pay TV companies in Brazil, is building a WiMAX trial network based on innovative 4G solutions and services from Nortel. The two companies announced a trial agreement at...

ETS-Lindgren pioneered the over-the-air (OTA) performance testing market, designing and building the first CTIA Authorized Test Lab (CATL) for mobile station over-the-air antenna performance testing. Since then, the company has designed and built test chambers that have performed tests at some of the largest and best-known manufacturers of mobile...

Computer simulation is essential for the rapid design of efficient RF and microwave components. Not only can ‘what if?’ questions be posed and answered—sometimes in seconds—but once a viable design concept has been identified it can be optimized to achieve cost and performance targets. To facilitate this, parametric modeling...
