This document describes the operation of the E6651A Test Set, a Mobile

WiMAX 802.16e Subscriber Station Tester. This product is used for

protocol verification and performance measurement of Mobile WiMAX

Subscriber Stations (SS). The E6651A Test Set was designed to be

operated as a standard Mobile WiMAX base station, and is also capable of

analyzing and generating Mobile WiMAX signals.

1Introduction

Product Overview

The E6651A Test Set is designed to test and analyze the

performance and signaling of Mobile WiMAX subscriber

stations based on the IEEE 802.16e standard. The Test Set

consists of three major operating modes:

Figure 1 The Agilent E6651A Mobile WiMAX Test Set

Base Station Emulator (BSE)

In Base Station Emulator (BSE) mode, the Test Set simulates

the operation of a Mobile WiMAX base station.

Signal Analyzer (SA)

In Signal Analyzer (SA) mode, the Test Set can be used to

analyze Mobile WiMAX uplink signals using modulation,

spectrum and flatness analysis. Modulation Analysis mode

displays the OFDM signal in both frequency and time

domain. The Spectrum Analysis functionality, implemented

using a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) algorithm, displays the

measured WiMAX signal in the frequency domain. Flatness

Analysis enables comparison of power levels of the spectral

components.

Signal Generator (SG)

In Signal Generator (SG) mode, the Test Set generates

standard Mobile WiMAX uplink and downlink signals.
