Keysight Technologies will be displaying its newest solutions that address present and future wireless design and test challenges at Mobile World Congress, Barcelona, from 2 to 5 March. They will showcase innovations in LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) including 3GPP, Releases 11, 12 and 13. The Keysight demonstrations will focus on the high-performance design and test solutions required to address increased peak data rates with multiple technologies. This includes Carrier Aggregation, enhanced use of multi-antenna techniques, and enhanced uplink for next-generation wireless devices in R&D and manufacturing.
Here are some details on the Tests Setups that will be on display at the Mobile World Congress:
E7515A UXM Wireless Test Set: The UXM’s powerful and extensible architecture is ready to handle the challenges of the latest LTE-Advanced evolutions, such as 4CC, 256 QAM, and UE categories 11 through 14. Keysight will demonstrate full, end-to-end IP data throughput of 450 Mbps with integrated, independent fading and noise for each component carrier, along with advanced small-cell technology, such as FeICIC, for verifying HetNet and cell-edge performance capabilities.
T4000S-Series Wireless System: The T4000S-series wireless systems offers RF, RRM and PCT conformance and design verification test, including LTE-A test cases and CA band combinations. The compact design, based on a common hardware set, minimizes space requirements and scales from bench-top to a full rack system. Additional customizable test plans can be used to exhaustively verify UE design beyond conformance. Test automation, combined with remote user interface, enables extended test without tying up valuable engineering resources.
E6640A EXM wireless test set: Ultimate scalability and port density for high volume UE manufacturing with the E6640A EXM wireless test set. With multi-format coverage and fast, accurate measurements, the EXM is ready to handle the latest manufacturing test challenges, such as WLAN MIMO and LTE-A CA testing. Keysight will demonstrate 802.11ac, 160 MHz bandwidth, and 4x4 True MIMO testing, showing how EXM can generate and analyze high-throughput formats to help engineers quickly reach their production goals.
E6650A EXF Wireless Test Set: This is the first one-box tester dedicated to femtocell manufacturing. The EXF is validated with the latest WLAN and cellular chipsets, including LTE and LTE-A. The EXF delivers the speed, performance, and cost control with the scalability required to ramp production rapidly and lower the cost of test in manufacturing.
