Test system checks out 5G modem-RF systems
The MT8000A Radio Communication Test Station has been adopted to verify the performance of key 5G features such as Dynamic Spectrum Sharing (DSS) in the FR1 FDD mode, in the Snapdragon X55 5G Modem-RF System. DSS is a key technology for flexibly allocating the resources of a single frequency band to LTE and 5G according […]
Advances continue in 5G protocol conformance test coverage
The Global Certification Forum (GCF) has approved the highest number of 5G New Radio (5G NR) Protocol Conformance tests on the Anritsu 5G NR Mobile Device Test Platform ME7834NR at its Conformance Agreement Group (CAG) #59 meeting in July. As a result, the Anritsu ME7834NR has become the test platform that provides the best test […]
Test platform covers Global Certification Forum RF test cases
Test platforms from Keysight Technologies now support a leading number of 5G new radio (NR) conformance radio frequency (RF) test cases validated by the Global Certification Forum (GCF). At the CAG#59 meeting, which took place in Malaga, Spain, it was confirmed that Keysight’s 5G network emulation conformance test platform (TP168) offers leading coverage of GCF […]
New open-source radio channel model QuaDRiGa available for 5G evaluations
The Fraunhofer Heinrich Hertz Institute released QuaDRiGa 2.2, a comprehensive update of the well-established open-source radio channel model. QuaDRiGa, short for “QUAsi Deterministic RadIo channel GenerAtor,” is mainly used to generate realistic radio channel impulse responses for use in system-level simulations of mobile networks. These simulations are used to determine the performance of new technologies […]
