Agilent Technologies to Showcase Custom OFDM Waveform Design
at 2010 Wireless Innovation Forum
 SANTA
CLARA, Calif., Dec. 1, 2010 -- Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) today announced that it will demonstrate the
latest design and test innovations for software-defined radio (SDR) at the
2010 Wireless Innovation Forum, Dec.1-2,
in Washington, D.C. The demonstration will highlight Agilent’s new design and verification tools for orthogonal
frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) technology, a family of high-performance communications formats.
“SDR developers require design and measurement tools that help them respond quickly in a dynamic marketplace,”
said Daren McClearnon, product marketing manager within Agilent Technologies’ EEsof organization. “Our modular
design tool approach enables custom OFDM measurements today and well into the future. This will help developers
design new leading-edge and specialty waveforms, not just measure them.”
Agilent’s solution for SDR developers consists of a new custom OFDM design personality that runs on the SystemVue
electronic system-level software platform. Agilent previously announced a custom OFDM measurement personality for
its
89600B Vector Signal Analyzer software. The two
software personalities interoperate, enabling system architects and verifiers to create consistent, custom formats
for both simulation and measurement scenarios.
For more information on the OFDM capabilities
demonstration, visit Agilent at the 2010 Wireless Innovation Forum, booth X and Y. You also may view a video
demonstration or download the related SystemVue application note at

U.S. Pricing and Availability
The SystemVue environment and its custom OFDM design
personality are both expected to be available in the first quarter of 2011. SystemVue has a starting price of
approximately $17,000. A free 30-day evaluation is available at
www.agilent.com/find/eesof-systemvue-evaluation. The custom OFDM design personality will be offered as a free
upgrade to the
W1461BP SystemVue base platform, 2011.03
software release.
