Anite channel emulator selected by CETECOM for MIMO OTA testing
The laboratory has been set up to perform device testing compliant with the CTIA standardised MIMO OTA test plan released earlier this autumn. Propsim F32 supports all CTIA channel model requirements (both MIMO and Transmit Diversity testing) allowing users to comprehensively and quickly verify that mobile devices meet expected industry requirements.
CETECOM selected the Propsim F32 for its unique ability to support LTE and LTE-Advanced device testing, incorporating up to 32 channels in a single unit, thereby simplifying set-up and reducing cost. Propsim F32 offers test laboratories and device manufacturers an easy upgrade path, which includes multi component Carrier Aggregation as well as support for frequencies up to 6 GHz enabling the testing of Wi-Fi capable devices. Its superior emulation accuracy and quicker test execution result in more reliable test results and quicker device assessment.
Manufacturers are introducing MIMO capable LTE devices equipped with multiple antennas to enable users to access higher data rate applications, which is driving the need for new testing methodologies incorporating the device antenna performance.
