Agilent's free WiMAX test tool kit provides the information needed to efficiently and effectively simulate, troubleshoot and verify designs for 802.16-2004 and 802.16 OFDMA applications. It includes application notes, presentations, product information, instrument set-up files and more.

The recently introduced E6651A mobile WiMAX test set incorporates flexible base station emulation and RF parametric tests into one integrated unit.

It is claimed to allow 802.16e-2005 subscriber station designers and manufacturers to move from development to volume production, and to improve the integrity and quality of their products while reducing cost.

The E6651A provides RF signal generation and signal analysis capability up to 6 GHz and includes a full suite of high-speed, precision-accuracy RF measurements for characterisation, calibration and verification purposes.

Certification profile 1 A is currently supported and profile 3 A planned.

The test set can be extended to enable protocol interoperability and application testing. With realistic base station emulation, the test set offers a controlled environment, with flexibility to configure a wide range of network parameters in which to test, stress and debug the protocol and data handling capabilities of a design.
