Use Direction Finding to Locate Mobile Network Interference in Minutes

Network operators need to be aware of issues and locate the source of interference quickly and this is becoming more important with the emergence of critical 5G use cases. To achieve this in demanding RF environments requires specialist equipment and the use of expert techniques such as Direction Finding (DF). This webinar describes the process of interference hunting, examines the test tools available and identifies where DF can be used for maximum advantage.

5G Evolution Webinar: 5G Advanced Topics

5G Evolution: 5G Advanced Topics

5G deployments have only recently started, and releases beyond R15 will continue to tap into the tremendous potential of 5G. However, as a new generation of cellular technology typically appears every 8-10 years, 6G can be expected around 2030. 6G could offer high-fidelity holograms, multi-sensory communications, Tera Hertz (THz) communications, and pervasive artificial intelligence. In this webinar, we explore the evolution from 5G from a service, air interface and network perspective, as well as take a crystal ball perspective on what the 5G evolution may look like.

Interference Hunting in 5G Networks

With 5G, the use of mm-wave and advanced antenna techniques will have an important impact on how interference is measured and resolved. Some of the key topics covered in this session include:

What is interference hunting?
Interference hunting in pre-5G networks
What is different about 5G?
Tools for 5G interference hunting
Rethinking “interference” in 5G networks

5G Deployment: Practical Considerations

Properly deploying a 5G radio access network requires careful planning and execution. For many operators, LTE will co-exist with 5G NR for some time. From Site Acquisition and RF design through final acceptance test, knowing what to look for and how to test will be critical to success. Join us for this informational webinar, in which we will cover the details of 5G deployment and how test solutions from Rohde & Schwarz can help you test more efficiently throughout the entire 5G deployment cycle.

Fundamentals of Over-the-Air (OTA) Testing

Future wireless technologies and standards will make over-the-air (OTA) testing a necessity. Engineers working with 5G NR and similar technologies today and in the future will need to have a basic understanding of antenna characteristics and how to properly measure them as part of a highly integrated sub-system. In this webinar, an OTA application engineer will cover the following topics: introduction to antenna parameters, the importance and execution of OTA test solution paradigms, and challenges of 5G OTA Measurements.

5G Location Based Services in Rel. 15 & 16

In this webinar, we will present the technical requirements and use cases for 5G location based services (LBS). We will then discuss the strengths and limitations of key positioning technologies such as DL-TDOA, MC-RTT, AoD, AoA, GNSS, Wi Fi and Barometric measurements. Finally, we will provide some details around specific Rohde & Schwarz test solutions that can be used to test the reliability and accuracy of positioning methods under all conditions, either indoors or outdoors.

How massive MIMO Challenges 5G base Station Testing

Massive multiple input multiple output (MIMO) antenna systems and beamforming are no doubt the key enablers and fundamental components of 5G deployment.
