Agilent Technologies has added a 5.7Mbit/s HSUPA test capability for its W-CDMA/HSPA test application, which runs on the 8960 (E5515C) wireless communications test set.

HSUPA is a 3G mobile telephony protocol in the HSPA family with uplink speeds up to 5.7Mbit/s. Also known as E-DCH (Enhanced Dedicated Channel), it is designed to extend the performance of UMTS protocols by reducing latency and increasing uplink throughput.

This test application provides radio bearer and frequency division duplex test modes and applicable 3GPP TS 34.121 HSUPA RF measurements for the latest HSUPA manufacturing and device verification. It allows engineers to test all available Category 6 HSUPA-capable mobile devices and chipsets.
