GS-8830 Series RF
Design Verification Test
System Overview
The GS-8830 Series RF design
verification test (DVT) systems are
full-featured test systems for design
verification and pre-conformance
testing of multiple mobile technology
formats. The GS-8830 Series systems
perform high accuracy measurements
and provide excellent repeatability and
performance test. The multi-
technology test platform supports
GSM/GPRS/EGPRS (3GPP TS51.010-
01), W-CDMA/HSDPA/HSUPA (3GPP
TS34.121-1), and cdmaOne/
cdma2000/1xEV-DO/1xEV-DO Rev.A
(3GPP2 C.S0011-A1 and 3GPP2
C.S0033 V2.0).
Agilent GS-8830 Series systems are
designed to meet existing radio format
requirements while providing a flexible
upgrade path for future formats.
The system architecture makes it easy
to modify or scale the system
configuration to provide the test
capabilities needed for the different
stages of your product’s life cycle and
perform conformance test, and
manufacturing or quality assurance
test applications.
GS-8830 Series System
Characteristics
Flexibility
The GS-8830 Series supports multiple
formats and bands
• GSM/GPRS/EGPRS (GSM 850,
GSM 900, DCS 1800, PCS 1900)
• W-CDMA/HSDPA/HSUPA (Bands I
to IX)
• cdmaOne/cdma2000/1xEV-DO/
1xEV-DO Rev.A (Band Class 0, 1, 3,
4, 6 and 15)
In addition, the flexible measurement
software provides users full control
over parameters, as well as the ability
to stress designs through a broad
range of frequencies and power levels.
Easy-to-use UI (user interface)
GS-8830 Series systems are equipped
with an easy-to-use UI, which makes it
simple for end users to change test
parameters and run design verification
tests.
Scalability and upgradability
The GS-8830 2G, 3G, and
cdma2000/1xEV-DO systems can each
be easily upgraded to include other
radio formats on the same hardware
platform by adding the necessary radio
format software option.
Accuracy and repeatability
GS-8830 Series systems provide
accurate measurements and
repeatable results due to equipment
stability and complete system
calibration. They leverage the
measurement speed, accuracy, and
repeatability strengths of Agilent
products; creating reliable, high
performance design verification test
systems.
Comprehensive test coverage
The GS-8830 Series systems cover a
large array of test cases specified in
3GPP TS51.010-01, 3GPP TS34.121-1,
3GPP2 C.S0011-A1, and 3GPP2
C.S0033 V2.0. Agilent is committed to
supporting more test case sections
and enhancing test coverage as
technology standards evolve.
Plus, the system’s single-platform
scalability for multiple radio
technology formats, bands, and
product life-cycle safeguards your
investment.
In addition, the systems can be scaled
up to the GS-8850 for conformance
testing, or scaled to the GS-8810 to
support manufacturing and quality
assurance testing.
