Optimization, troubleshooting and mobile coverage measurements with non-intrusive scanner measurements

RF and QoS measurements in one tool with instant results

R&S®TSMx is the product family for state-of-the-art network scanners for drive and walk tests and includes the R&S®TSMA6B and R&S®TSME6. R&S®TSMx products passively capture data from the air interface, offering a pure and accurate view of RF performance and MIB/SIB/Layer 3 messages from the most popular technologies without needing to subscribe to network services.

Features & benefits

5G NR support (incl. RedCap)

5G NR support in FR1 and mmWave (17 to 53 GHz) with R&S®TSMS53DC

The R&S®TSMx6 is a future-proof hardware platform with an in-field upgrade available for 5G NR (inlc. RedCap and FrMCS) sub 6 GHz and mmWave measurements . The additional hardware (R&S®TSME30DC/R&S®TSME44DC/R&S®TSMS53DC) needed to measure mmWave frequency bands can be installed for simplified measurement setups and reduced setup times. It performs demodulation of L3/SIB messages up to SIB21 (Release 17).

Automatic channel detection (ACD)

Automatically detect all bands and technologies

The R&S®TSMx detects active channels in a specified band. 5G NR (incl. RedCap), LTE, UMTS, CDMA2000®/1xEV-DO and NB-IoT networks are supported. A spectrum scan option to significantly speed up detection is also available. In this mode, channel lists no longer have to be set up before a measurement campaign. The measurement system dynamically identifies new channels and adds them to the workspace during drive tests.

5G BTS position estimation

Automatically estimate cell positions in all networks

During a drive test, R&S®ROMES can use measurement data and GPS data from the R&S®TSMx to estimate the geographic positions of base stations. The calculation is fast and accurate. GSM, WCDMA, LTE, 5G NR, CDMA2000®/1xEVDO and TETRA networks are supported in parallel. This unique feature enables users to quickly generate a base station list for export or graphic display.

Mission Critical Testing: TETRA and Project 25 (P25)

Important R&S®TSMx6 uses include coverage and interference measurements in mission critical voice and data (MCX) networks. Fire brigades, police and other first responders use MCX networks for maximum coverage and reliability, even in emergency situations. Sufficient RF coverage and quality is essential to safety. Various regions use TETRA/TETRA DMO and/or P25 networks. The R&S®TSMx6 supports TETRA/TETRA DMO and P25 phase 1 and 2. In TETRA/TETRA, DMO system information demodulation is also supported.

Network synchronization measurements

Network synchronization in the time domain is even more important since the introduction of 5G NR in TDD mode. Improved performance thanks to perfectly synchronized networks in the time domain with the elimination of overlapping uplink and downlink time slots. R&S®TSMx6 drive and walk test scanners can measure the time of arrival offset between PPS pulses (or the internal receiver clock) and received 5G NR and LTE signal sequences to determine network synchronization quality.

Time alignment error (TAE) measurements

Measuring the time alignment error (TAE) for network components is a special network optimization task. Filters, cables, antenna arrays and signal processing modules are potential sources for added time delays, when the signal travels from the baseband to the receiving antenna. An absolute and high precision signal arrival timestamp (UTC time with an accuracy of a few ns) is needed and R&S®TSMx6 scanners have one.

Deviation from the network timebase necessarily causes frequency drift. To measure the frequency accuracy for a 5G NR cell, R&S®TSMx6 scanners provide the precise SSB center frequency (accuracy within a few Hz).

Open Lightbox

Dynamic spectrum sharing support

Dynamic 5G NR and LTE spectrum sharing helps rapidly deploy 5G NR and use spectra more efficiently. It also places greater demands on receivers. R&S®TSMx6 receivers can accurately identify and measure these carriers.

C-V2X support

Cellular vehicle-to-everything network testing

Cellular V2X is the new industry standard for vehicle connectivity, improved road safety and more efficient traffic management. It enables direct communications between individual vehicles and between vehicles and network infrastructure such as road side units (RSU). The K36 option enables the R&S®TSMx to measure PC5 sidelink interface coverage and quality for reliable V2X communications.
