RF parametric testing (TX & RX)
Complete RF characterization with the CMX500 radio communication tester
High-performance data transmissions via an air interface are only possible with perfect transmit and receive characteristics. In the 5G FR1 and FR2 frequency ranges, key RF transmitter measurements are needed,such as modulation, quality, transmit power and spectral parameters, along with receiver measurements such as the block error rate (BLER). 3GPP specifies extensive test cases for transmitter (TX) and receiver (RX) measurements in TS38.521 sections 6 and 7. The cases come preinstalled in the sequencer, where they can be run. The CMX500 callbox function offers intuitive solutions for
- Flexible RF testing for development with R&S®CMsquares;
- Fully automated conformance testing with R&S®CONTEST;
- 3GPP test cases for SA and NSA modes
- 3GPP MIMO RX/TX measurements
- Receiver performance measurements under fading conditions
- Combined LTE – 5G carrier aggregation measurements
- Easy transfer to production with identical SCPI commands for the CMX and the CMP200 radio communication tester
