E1962B functionality overview
With advanced features and superior performance, the E1962B is designed for high-volume manufacturing and wireless device development, allowing you to finalize product
designs and minimize time to volume.
CDMA forward link emulation
The fully-coded IS-2000 forward-link emulation supports radio configurations 1 through
5, and 11, as well as all supplemental channel data rates associated with those configurations. Comprehensive signal generation capabilities including all applicable CDMA
channels, modulation, and an AWGN source (1.8 MHz minimum bandwidth). Flexible user
control of the forward link emulation is provided through easy-to-use front panel control
and remote GPIB. Option E1962B-401 adds cdma2000 Release A protocol support and
includes the F-BCCH and F-CCCH channels. E1962B-410 adds cdma2000 1x Advanced
support and includes the F-ACK channel for early termination.
CDMA authentication
Option E1962B-403 adds authentication capabilities when operating in the active cell
modes using the IS-95 or IS-2000 systems. Authentication supports two, one-button
commands: unique challenge and SSD update. The global challenge function can be
turned on or off to support authentication with most call processing functions. User
authentication parameters include A-key (decimal), RAND (hex), RANDU (hex), and
RANDSSD (hex). The reported global challenge results include the AUTHU expected
value, the AUTHU received value and a pass/fail result and the RANDC expected value,
the RANDC received value, and a pass/fail result. Other results include the count and
AUTH_MODE. The reported unique challenge results include the AUTHU expected value,
the AUTHU received value and a pass/fail result. Pass/fail results are also available for
SSD updates.

Fading tests
E5515C/E Option 004 adds a rear panel digital bus that enables fading when it is used
with Keysight’s Baseband Studio for fading solution. In conjunction with the E5106A PXB
baseband generator and channel emulator, the E1962B provides receiver fading tests
with unprecedented accuracy and repeatability, at a very attractive price point. Baseband I/Q data from the Keysight E5515C/E wireless communications test set is sent via
the digital bus to the N5101A fading card in an external PC. N5106A and associated software can be used 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.
Multi-unit synchronization
Option 406 allows any test set to be time-synchronized to another test set that is
running either a CDMA or 1xEV-DO test application or lab application. The multi-unit
synchronization supports simulation of mobile behaviors with two base stations. Typical
applications are idle/softer handoff, pilot detection, and hybrid mode simulation.

for modulation
Connector
Rear panel, 50-pin, high density
Signal generator ALC
Closed or open (default of closed); open loop
mode
mode must be used during fading to maintain
the desired signal characteristics
ALC open loop
Calibrates the RF source when operating in the
calibration
ALC open loop mode; the accuracy remains
valid with a ± 5 °C window of the temperature at
which the calibration was performed
ALC open loop RF IN/

Option E1962B-406 multi-unit synchronization
Functionality
Allows any test set to be time-synchronized to
another test set running either CDMA or 1xEVDO test application or lab application; synchronization requires one unit to be designated
as the time server and the other as the client;
timebase and trigger outputs of the server
must be connected to the client’s timebase and
trigger inputs; the test sets must also be on a
LAN using the same address segment
Sync to external test set One button command to perform the
synchronization
External test set LAN
User entry of the time server’s LAN address

Recall
Five registers that store the complete instrument state except for active cell call processing

Allows user to recall one of the 5 stored

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/E; 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.
