News - Board and System TestEvaluation of Gigabit LTE and Cellular IoT07 February 2018 – Anritsu Corporation announced a range of software options for the Signalling Tester MD8430A that expand the LTE-Advanced Pro (LTE-A Pro) evaluation functions. The MD8430A software options now support Gigabit LTE (DL 5CA and UL 3CA IP data communications, SCME, Fading), and Cellular IoT evaluations (Cat-M1, NB-IoT). The widespread deployment of high-speed standards such as LTE-A Pro is bringing with it new evaluation requirements such as the following:
This, coupled with 3GPP Release 13 that defines new standards related to cellular IoT, is driving the need for a LTE-A Pro protocol/R&D test solution that will help developers bring wireless devices to market as fast as possible. The Signalling Tester MD8430A is a base-station simulator used in the development of LTE/LTE-Advanced, and now LTE-Advance Pro-compliant chipsets and mobile UE. These newly developed functions support evaluations for LTE-A Pro terminal performance under simulated DL 5CA, UL 3CA, and SCME fading environments, as well as Cat-M1 and NB-IoT simulated environments. Additionally, if the signals are within the same band, multiple base-station signals can be output from one Tx antenna, which cuts the need for multiple MD8430A test sets even when the number of Tx signals is increased by increasing the number of component carriers. With its built-in standalone fading functions, the MD8430A supports configuration of a high-reproducibility fading environment which is difficult to achieve on a live network, and can be used to control fading in synchrony with mobile communications tests by controlling the fading function at the same interface. It also supports slow-clock tests required for debugging at first stages of chipset development. Combined use with the Rapid Test Designer (RTD) MX786201A software tool offers a GUI for the easy creation of test sequences, simplifying the creation of test cases for base station simulation in a MIMO environment and allowing the configuration of various test communications environments that are difficult to reproduce with a live base station. www.anritsu.com/ Related Articles: |
