4G, WiMAX,
Broadband, Mobile, Global: Rohde &
Schwarz has been appointed RCT tester/developer for mobile WiMAX by the WiMAX
Forum. The electronics company introduced its R&S TS8970 to a broad public
for the first time at 3GSM Barcelona, after having previously presented it at various WiMAX conferences.
WiMAX was originally introduced to replace broadband cable
networks such as DSL. Now that the IEEE 802.16e-2005 standard has been adopted,
mobile applications are also there to be supported. To meet this development,
Rohde & Schwarz is promoting its R&S TS8970 WiMAX RF conformance test
system. The electronics company introduced its R&S TS8970 to the telecoms
community for the first time at 3GSM Barcelona, after
having previously presented it at various WiMAX conferences.
Rohde & Schwarz has been selected by the WiMAX Forum to
develop this Radio Conformance Test Tester (RCTT) in line with the IEEE 802.16e
mobile WiMAX standard. Based on validated test cases, the R&S TS8970 test
system is a reference solution for the certification of WiMAX end products
being manufactured in line with the 802.16e-2005 specification.
The R&S TS8970 is based on the concept used in the
R&S TS8950GW 2G/3G radio conformance test system and is available as an
upgrade. The first generation offers fully automatic measurements and complete
software functionalities such as customised reporting, flexible data
import/export, and auto-calibration. TS8970 supports a frequency range of 400
MHz to 6 Ghz, while its modular concept enhances flexibility in R&D and in
pre-compliance testing.
