The tests were conducted for one of the leading US carriers.
“We are delighted to have integrated the excellent MT8820C base station emulators into our RC+CE MIMO OTA carrier aggregation test platform, as it will truly add value for our customers,” said David Sánchez-Hernández, CEO and co-founder of EMITE. “The ability to test LTE CA + MIMO + UMA with various auxiliary equipment is a world first and takes MIMO OTA testing to a higher level of realism and global applicability.”.
The MT8820C comprehensive LTE tester is a multi-format 2G, 3G, and LTE tester capable of UE calibration, RF parameter testing, and functional testing, including call processing and non-call testing. Supported formats include LTE-A, LTE, W-CDMA/HSPA CDMA2K up to 1xEV-DO rel. A, TD-SCDMA/HSPA, and GSM/GPRS/EGPRS. The MT8820C provides the most stable and widespread implementation of cellular standards for base station emulation and testing of devices capable of establishing a call.
EMITE's unique multi-cavity Mode- and Source-Shaken Reverberant Chamber (MSRC) solutions provide diverse fading environments at a fraction of the cost of alternative anechoic chamber-based test solutions. Along with conventional uniform, isotropic Rayleigh, and other more complex SCME-based fading profiles for MIMO OTA testing, EMITE solutions are the only ones to also offer other standardized fading profiles using the patented Sample Selection® technique—a first in the wireless segment.
