Comprehensive test suite to accelerate functional performance testing of cellular user equipment in a controlled laboratory environment Agilent N5972A Interactive Functional T est Software Technical Overview Optimize UE performance for real-world user scenarios
- Reduce design and validation cycles
- Create individual test sequences
- Develop comprehensive test scripts
- Create automated test plans to stress UE with simultaneous activities
- Measure the impact on UE performance, including battery drain The ever-increasing complexity of cellular devices is driving the need to stress test phones and modems using scenarios that anticipate realistic use cases. Performing this testing, and making any necessary alterations during the design and verification stage prevents the cost of resolution from growing exponentially as the functionality- packed devices progress further downstream. The Agilent Technologies N5972A interactive functional test (IFT) software provides an automated and simplified interface for testing cellular UE under real-world net- work scenarios experienced by end users. This software simultaneously performs functional and parallel testing of call processing, FTP, and SMS features, while monitoring current drain and changing the RF power to the UE. The N5972A provides the added benefit of simulating real-world conditions in a controlled environment, allowing UE designs to be optimized ahead of deployment on a real network.
