Delivers market-leading ACLR and EVM
measurements in compact form factor for cost-effective over-the-air
(OTA) testing of 5G network infrastructure
Keysight Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: KEYS), a leading technology
company that helps enterprises, service providers and governments
accelerate innovation to connect and secure the world, announced a
new high-performance 5G base station test solution, based on
Keysight’s S9130A 5G Performance Multi-Band Vector Transceiver
(VXT), that enables network equipment manufacturers (NEMs) and
small cell vendors to accelerate validation of mmWave products
according to the latest 3GPP specifications.
Mobile operators are deploying 5G new radio (NR) in frequency
range 2 (FR2) to deliver enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB)
connectivity in metropolitan areas and indoor environments such as
stadiums and airports. Rapid deployment of a heterogenous network,
consisting of macro base stations, small cell infrastructure, radio
units (RUs) and distributed antenna systems (DAS), depends on
streamlined testing across the workflow. Keysight has extended the
company’s suite of 5G base station test solutions, initially
launched in 2018, to meet a growing need for cost-effective 5G
mmWave test and validation.
“Keysight’s new 5G base station test solution allows NEMs to
validate 5G high performance macro base stations in manufacturing,
and vendors of 5G small cells to validate mmWave products in
R&D and design validation,” said Giampaolo Tardioli, vice
president and general Manager for Keysight’s network access group.
“The solution combines the new 5G performance multi-band VXT with
Keysight’s internal common interface unit (CIU) and mmWave remote
radio head (RRH) to deliver high performance over-the-air (OTA)
testing in a compact form factor.”
Keysight’s high performance 5G base station test solution
leverages the company’s new PXIe based vector transceiver (VXT) to
deliver market-leading adjacent channel leakage ratio (ACLR) and
error vector magnitude (EVM) measurements. The superior performance
of the next generation VXT and RRH brings the measurement plane
closer to the device under test (DUT). This means that the DUT can
receive high power levels across a wide dynamic power range,
resulting in exceedingly accurate and reliable measurement
results.
Keysight’s S9100 suite of solutions supports multiple channels
for testing several base stations in parallel and leverage the
company’s cloud-ready suite of PathWave software solutions to
simplify and speed testing as vendors scale from design validation
to volume test. Supported PathWave solutions include:
- X-Series Measurement Applications for basic measurements such
as EVM and ACLR.
- 5G NR Signal Creation and Playback for characterizing power and
modulation performance of components and transmitters.
- 89600 Vector Signal Analysis for advanced demodulation and
vector signal analysis.
