4 Tips for 5G New Radio Signal Creation: Accelerate Design Validation for 5G NR

The promise of 5G technology is faster and more reliable communications.To enable mobile broadband communications, 5G uses existing and new technologies to achieve extreme data throughputs. However, these technologies introduce new test demands, including testing at millimeter-wave frequencies,wider channel bandwidths, and complex multi-antenna configurations.

Testing base-stations and mobile terminal transmitters and receivers begins with simulating 5G New Radio (NR) standard-compliant signals. A robust test system supports generating test signals for a variety of test scenarios, from component characterization, design verification, and pre-conformance, to volume production testing.New technologies that include 5G NR will require you to think differently about how you design and test devices. Here are 4 tips to help you successfully generate 5G NR test signals and get your designs to market faster.
