Key Facts

Key facts about the hardware platform

  • LTE protocol tester with a layer 1 to layer 3 protocol stack implementation in accordance with 3GPP Rel.7 specifications TS 25.211, 25.212, 25.213, and 25.214 and 3GPP Rel. 8 specifications TS 36.302, TS 36.321, TS 36.322, TS 36.323, and TS 36.331
  • Future-ready, powerful RF hardware that supports the 3GPP-defined LTE bandwidths from 1.4 MHz to 20 MHz and all 3GPP frequency bands up to 6 GHz
  • Data rates up to 100 Mbps in the downlink and 50 Mbps in the uplink
  • Integration of the DUT via an RF interface or digital I/Q interface (realtime, reduced clock); adaptation to customer-specific digital I/Q standards via an external adapter unit
  • Digital baseband fading by means of the R&S®AMU200 fading simulator
  • MIMO 2 x 2 and MIMO 4 x 2 (future release)
  • Multi-cell and multi-RAT capability

Key facts about the software components

  • Development environment for layer 1 to layer 3 signaling scenarios with automatic configuration of the layers below
  • TTCN libraries and software tools for developing signaling conformance test cases (future release)
  • Extensive library with preconfigured messages and signaling scenarios for speeding up test development
  • Practice proven software tools for carrying out, working on, automating and analyzing signaling scenarios
  • Optional emulation of the physical layer for the development of layer 2 and layer 3 protocol software on PCs
