Agilent E6474A Wireless Network

Optimization Platform

Configuration Guide

The purpose of this configuration guide is to assist you in ordering the correct system

configuration for your application.

The Agilent E6474A wireless network optimization platform is used to obtain RF coverage

measurements and service performance measurements for wireless communications

networks. The Windows®based software runs on a PC that interfaces with an Agilent

digital RF receiver and with cdmaOne, cdma2000, HSDPA, UMTS, GSM, GPRS, EDGE,

and iDEN phones. The system can be configured to include receivers and phones from

one or a combination of technologies simultaneously. The system can control up to four

phones.

Server-based keyless software licensing is offered as an alternative to the default

hardware key-based licensing. Software licensing provides the ability to maintain a pool

of E6474A measurement licenses on a server and then distributes those licenses to client

drive-test PCs using a check-out process. Typically only one server application is required

per customer. This licensing option is aimed at customers managing more than twenty

E6474A systems.

Options section (refer to Table 1).

Agilent receivers include an internal 12 channel GPS receiver although you can use an alternative

external GPS unit if preferred.

If you require dead reckoning with your GPS, you need to use an external GPS. Agilent offers an

external GPS with dead reckoning capability (refer to Table 6)

You need to select the receiver that covers the frequency bands in which you want to make

measurements.

Each receiver includes the following components:

• Magnetic-mount RF antenna for the corresponding frequency band
