The Agilent Technologies 8935 Series E6381A

TDMA base station test set is a full-featured, one-

box test set designed to meet the needs of installa-

tion teams, service providers, and network equip-

ment manufacturers.

Building on the success of our previous genera-

tions of base station test equipment, the E6381A

heavily incorporates feedback from PCS and

Cellular users. For example, the E6381A utilizes a

large, bright, easy-to-read, electroluminescent dis-

play. A convenient connector section on the side

of the test set allows unobtrusive, out-of-the-way

hook up, as well as protects the connectors from

damage. A suitcase form factor provides better

portability.

The “rugged” design includes a reliable membrane

keypad, a gasketed display, and filtered

airflow to resist dirt and moisture. The unit’s

enclosure provides for stand up operation, and

helps protect itself from bumps and shocks.

The E6381A incorporates a user-friendly interface

with one-key measurement execution. This inter-

face, coupled with the test set’s fast measurement

speed and automated software for Ericsson,

Lucent, and Nortel base stations, results in less

off-line time and improved system performance.

Errors due to test variability are reduced, and

measurement data can be output to a printer or to

the PC memory card. Additionally, new features

and capabilities can be added to the E6381A with-

out returning the unit to a service center. The test

set’s firmware is user upgradeable via a PC card to

Flash Memory.

To complete the TDMA parametric test solution,

Agilent also offers a new TDMA technician training

program to provide install teams and service

providers with a comprehensive understanding of

base station test.
