Anritsu has announced that the company in a joint collaboration with Samsung Electronics’ System LSI Business on 5G NR Standalone mode (SA) has achieved approval of key test scenarios by the Global Certification Forum (GCF) and PTCRB. These tests are defined by 3GPP TS38.521, TS38.523, and have been verified with Samsung’s 5G New Radio (NR) Exynos modem on Anritsu ME7873NR RF Conformance Test System (TP250) and ME7834NR Protocol Conformance test platform (TP251).
New Radio RF Conformance Test System - ME7873NR
Anritsu’ ME7873NR is an automated system for 3GPP TS38.521/TS38.533-defined 5G NR RF/RRM tests. It supports both 5G NR SA and NSA modes, when combined with Anritsu’s CATR Anechoic Chamber MA8172A it covers all 5G frequency bands, including FR1 (Sub-6 GHz) and FR2 (mmWave). A flexible system configuration allows customization of the ME7873NR for specific measurement conditions. An easy 5G upgrade path from the LTE-Advanced RF Conformance Test System ME7873LA is available to create a cost-effective RF test system that meets emerging required test conditions and protects investments made by existing customers.
5G NR Mobile Device Test Platform - ME7834NR
The Protocol Conformance test system ME7834NR is a test platform for 3GPP-based Protocol Conformance Test (PCT) and Carrier Acceptance Testing (CAT) of mobile devices incorporating Multiple Radio Access Technologies (RAT). It supports 5G NR in both Standalone (SA) and Non-Standalone (NSA) mode, in addition to LTE, LTE-Advanced (LTE-A), LTE-A Pro, and W-CDMA. When combined with Anritsu’s new OTA chamber MA8171A and RF converters, the ME7834NR covers the sub-6 GHz and millimetre wave (mmWave) 5G frequency bands.
