Benefits

Calibrated and synchronized

wideband signal generation

and analysis at mmWave

frequencies

Confidence in accurate

broadband channel sounding

measurements for analysis of

new 5G channels

Multiple phase-coherent,

wideband digitizer channels

with optional FPGA for

real-time CIR analysis

Speeds data collection with

real-time CIR and requires less

disk space/memory

World’s first 5G exploration

library for design and simula-

tion in SystemVue

Flexible and scalable for new

5G tests as standards evolve

Key Performance Specifications

The Reference Solution provides for:

– Tx/Rx up to 44 GHz with 1 GHz bandwidth that is scalable to

higher frequencies with Keysight up/down converters

– 4 or 8 MIMO channels, extendable up to 104 channels

– Capture multiple, phase coherent channels for optional

real-time processing of Channel Impulse Response (CIR) in

On-board FPGAs

– IO control supports synchronizes Tx and Rx to <1 e-12

accuracy and <1e-12 stability
