Test setup for four component carrier aggregation
The companies will present the test setup to the public for the first time at the upcoming Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. The setup consists of two CMW500 wideband radio communication testers, the CMWC controller fro Rohde & Schwarz and the Prisma UeSIM multi-terminal simulator.
Each CMW500 generates two component carriers with 20 MHz bandwidth and 2×2 MIMO. The entire setup is able to provide a downlink data rate of 600 Mbps — the performance required for tests on 3GPP category 11 (Cat11) devices. Prisma’s UeSIM is equipped with two SDRv3 and one eLSU units terminating the traffic.
With this successful 4CC demonstration, Rohde & Schwarz and Prisma Telecom Testing have achieved an important milestone for the commercial evolution of LTE-Advanced.
