Technicians no longer need to carry armfuls of tools when they perform base station maintenance.  All they need is one tool   from Agilent Technologies. The Agilent E7495B base station test set:

• Performs all standard BTS and over-air measurements with the accuracy you need – more BTS wireless and wireline measurements than any other test set on the market.
• Minimizes the need for training because of its simple interface, simple procedures, and built-in measurement help.
• Increases each technician's productivity, decreasing time spent per cell site visit.
• Provides technicians with true spectrum analyzer performance for troubleshooting.
• Stands up to rough field use and all weather conditions.
• Costs much less than all the tools it replaces.

FEATURES:
Power meter:
The built-in power meter replaces the need to carry a separate power meter, simplifying
overall maintenance routines and shortening site visits. Additionally, using an appropriate
power sensor enables technicians to make power measurements of microwave links.
Accurate power settings help technicians maximize network capacity while reducing
coverage holes and minimizing the effects of interference.

W-CDMA (UMTS), HSDPA, cdmaOne, CDMA2000 1X, and CDMA2000 1xEV-DO over-air test tool:
Provides fast, qualified measurements in less than five minutes. Enables time for proactive maintenance and makes pole top testing practical. Problem areas can be identified without interrupting service.

CW, cdmaOne, CDMA2000 1X, CDMA2000 1xEV-DO, and iDEN reverse link signal generator:
Provides the technician with a source to conduct sensitivity measurements. Additionally, this option allows a technician to perform component level characterization utilizing simultaneous spectrum analysis and built-in RF and CDMA sources. Reverse link testing helps to ensure network Rx service quality.

Antenna tester with vector network analysis capability:
• cable tests
• distance to fault (DTF)
• swept insertion loss
• swept insertion gain
Lets technicians evaluate one of the primary BTS trouble spots in a matter of minutes. Dual port insertion loss allows technicians to sweep various components like filters, duplexers, amps and more. DTF resolution includes 256, 512, or 1024 data points, enough resolution to locate and isolate faults within a few centimeters (inches) of one another or resolve short jumper cables at the end of a long antenna feed line. A healthy antenna and feed line network yields improved voice quality, better system reliability and reduced dropped calls.

T1 or E1:
Identifies and diagnoses T1 or E1 problems. Dual channel capability allows “loop-back”
measurements. Fewer wireline problems mean reduced service problems and down time.

Spectrum analyzer:
Provides necessary functionality so technicians don ’t need to carry a separate spectrum
analyzer. Built-in spectrum emissions masks, occupied BW, Spectrogram, and markers
make it easy-to-use. Industry-leading low noise figure receiver is capable of measuring
down to –150 dBm, allowing technicians to identify and pull out low level, intermittent
rogue interferers. Quick interference detection leads to improved quality of service.

Channel scanner for CDMA, W-CDMA (UMTS), cdmaOne, CDMA2000 1X, CDMA2000 1xEV-DO, TDMA, GSM/EDGE, GPRS, AMPS, and iDEN:
Provides easy to interpret bar graph display illustrating channel power versus frequency of user defined channels. The channel scanner quickly identifies improper power levels that can adversely affect network performance.

TX RF modulation analysis for W-CDMA (UMTS), cdmaOne, CDMA2000 1X, CDMA2000 1xEV-DO, GSM, and EDGE:
TX modulation testing provides extensive transmitter analysis for various 2 to 3G formats like modulation quality (phase error, Rho, EVM), time offset, code domain power and display, channel power, etc. In addition, W-CDMA, and CDMA applications include Codogram analysis.

Internal GPS receiver:
Provides position location, highly accurate frequency measurements and enables
independent verification of base station GPS receiver timing. For CDMA networks, the
internal GPS receivers help reduce dropped calls by identifying the "island cell" effect –
improving the quality of service.

Interference analysis:
• spectrogram display
• level meter
• modulation ID function

Allows engineers and technicians to find intermittent, interfering signals using a spectrogram display, signal strength meter and signal ID capability. Eliminating interfering signals from the network improves quality of service.
