Fading tests
E5515C Option 004 adds a rear panel digital bus that enables
fading when it is used with Agilent’s Baseband Studio for fading
solution. In conjunction with the N5101A Baseband Studio PCI
card and the Agilent N5115A Baseband Studio for fading software,
the E1962B provides receiver fading tests with unprecedented
accuracy and repeatability, at a very attractive price point.
Baseband I/Q data from the Agilent E5515C wireless
communications test set is sent via the digital bus to the N5101A
fading card in an external PC. The N5115A fading software
configures the PCI card to perform the user-selected fading
profile. After digital fading, AWGN can be digitally added to the
waveform. The resulting waveform is then returned to the test set
via the digital bus for modulation. This solution eliminates almost
all associated calibrations and provides rock-solid repeatability.

simulation of mobile behaviors with two base stations. Typical
applications are idle/softer handoff, pilot detection, and hybrid

General Specifications
Timebase specifications
Trigger output
Internal high stability 10 MHz oven-controlled crystal
oscillator (OCXO)
Remote programming
Frame clock output: user-selectable output of 20 ms, 80 ms, or 2 s
GPIB: IEEE Standard 488.2
GPIB help: pressing the front panel help key and then any other
key will cause the test set to display the GPIB syntax for that
command at the bottom of the front panel display; pressing the
help key again exits this mode of operation
Remote front panel lockout: allows remote user to disable the
front panel display to improve GPIB measurement speed
Implemented functions: T6, TE0, L4, LE0, SH1, AH1, RL1, SR1,
PP0, DC1, DT0, C0, and E2
Aging rates: < ±0.1 ppm per year, < ±0.005 ppm peak-to-peak per
day during any 24-hour period starting 24 hours or more after a
cold start
Temperature stability: < ±0.01 ppm frequency variation from
25 °C over the temperature range 0 to 55 °C
Warm-up times: 5 minutes to be within ±0.1 ppm of frequency at
one hour, 15 minutes to be within ±0.01 ppm of frequency at
one hour
Accuracy after a 30-minute warm-up period of continuous
operation is derived from: typically ±(time since last
calibration) x (aging rate) + (temperature stability) + (accuracy
of calibration)
Initial adjustment: typically ±0.03 ppm
Save/Recall registers
Storage capacity: five registers that store the complete
instrument state except for active cell call processing status
(fixed labels of register 1 to 5); registers are non-volatile
Recall: allows user to recall one of the 5 stored instrument states
External reference input
Input frequency: 10 MHz
Input frequency range: typically < ±5 ppm of nominal reference
frequency
Input level range: typically 0 to +13 dBm
Input impedance: typically 50 Ω
External reference output
Output frequency: same as timebase (internal 10 MHz OCXO or
external reference input)
Output level: typically > 0.5 V rms
Output impedance: typically 50 Ω

General specifications
Analog measurements
Dimensions (H x W x D): 8.75 x 16.75 x 24.63 in
(222 x 426 x 625 mm), 7 rack spaces high
Weight: 66 lbs (30 kg)
Display: 10.5 in (26.7 cm), active matrix, color, liquid crystal
LAN (local area network) port (for firmware upgrades and
protocol logging only): RJ-45 connector, 10 base T Ethernet
with TCP/IP support
Operating temperature: 0 to +55 °C
Storage temperature: −20 to +70 °C
Power: 100 to 240 Vac, 50 to 60 Hz, 550 VA maximum
Calibration interval: 2 years
EMI: conducted and radiated interference meets CISPR-11
Radiated leakage due to RF generator: typically < 1 µV induced in
a resonant dipole antenna one inch from any surface except the
underside and rear panel at a set RF generator output frequency
and output level of −40 dBm
Power consumption: typically 400 to 450 W continuous
Measurement speed: typical measurement speed based on using
at least a 600 MHz Pentium® II processor PC and with the
display off mode selected on the E5515C; measurement speeds
include the total time from GPIB measurement request until the
controller receives the result using the INT/FETCH commands;
due to variations of trigger latencies and internal test set
processor loading, individual measurement times may be faster
or slower; measurement speeds also vary depending on the
controller GPIB environment and processor speed
