Verify the Actual Performance of Mobile Devices with
MIMO OTA Testing
Test from early stage development through market acceptance
The Propsim tools and applications enable you to test a device from early stage research
and development through to market introduction. Keysight supports mobile operator test
plans across the globe by developing and implementing relevant test cases. As the main
contributor to all relevant channel models used in the wireless industry – Winner, Winner
II, 3GPP, CTIA, ITU, METIS (5G) – Keysight has the largest pool of patents in the field of
radio channel modeling and emulation.
Consistent and reliable MIMO OTA testing in an anechoic chamber
MIMO OTA testing performed in an anechoic chamber fulfills all technical requirements
set by 3GPP, CCSA and CTIA. It also enables the most consistent and reliable test
results, even for future features such as Uplink MIMO, CoMP and adaptive antennas.
The Propsim F32 channel emulator is compliant with the draft CTIA specification related
to MIMO OTA testing of all currently planned LTE transmission modes in anechoic
chamber system installations. This enables you to verify that a particular mobile device
meets expected industry and operator requirements. Propsim F32 is ideally suited for
OTA testing in an anechoic chamber due to its high RF I/O capacity, compact size, ease
of use and configurability.
Propsim’s advanced modeling tools enable device testing in the R&D phase using a wide
range of use case scenarios. Propsim MIMO OTA and field-to-lab Virtual Drive Testing
Toolset enable you to define and create customized test scenarios based on data (RF
propagation conditions) captured in an existing network.
Simplify OTA testing in a reverberation chamber
Propsim FS8 is ideal for OTA testing in a reverberation chamber because it enables
simple control of critical parameters. This includes dynamic mobile speed, multipath
profile, range delay and base station antenna correlation. Other parameters include
noise and inter-symbol interference caused by base station signals as well as distant
propagation path reflections to the device.
Over-the-air testing in a reverberation chamber based on a Propsim FS8 channel
emulator allows you to assess a device’s average data throughput performance relative
to other devices. In this case, isotropic SCME-based channel models (Long and Short
Delay Spread) for transmit diversity modes (TM2) as defined in the CTIA MIMO OTA test
plan are used.
