Test Systems Verify A-GPS Designs

Designed around the 8960 wireless communications test set's recently-added A-GPS assistance data messaging test capabilities, the GS-9000 Assisted GPS (A-GPS) design verification test systems support A-GPS validation, total isotropic sensitivity testing, and A-GPS pre-conformance testing for mobile devices. The GS-9000 systems include both hardware and software for testing a device's A-GPS capabilities in a conducted environment. Hardware includes an 8960 test set and an E4438C vector signal generator to emulate GPS satellites. The GS-9000 family of test systems includes design verification solutions for pre-conformance test and a more compact bench top functional test solution, the GS-9000 Lite. The pre-conformance test system provides all the features of the GS-9000 Lite while adding SUPL server support and fading. AGILENT TECHNOLOGIES INC., Santa Clara, CA. (877) 424-4536.
