as well as mixed FDD and TDD AC measurements, and intra-band and inter-band uplink AC measurements. These advancements, combined with integrated, carrier- and cell-independent UXM fading for each component, allow validation engineers to ensure their latest LTE-A devices will perform as expected in a real-world network environment.
The UXM's large touchscreen and intuitive user interface make it easy to emulate complex networks and provide a wide variety of functional testing capabilities in an accessible stack-based environment that includes support for the new 3GPP Category 0 for low-power, low-cost machine-to-machine (M2M) devices.
Another new feature of the UXM is the addition of W-CDMA/HSPA+ testing capabilities, which allow testing 3G data speed with integrated fading and CPC statistics, mobility and handover verification between different radio access technologies (RAT), and logging of multiple time-aligned formats.
“We continue to leverage the power of the UXM platform to keep pace with the emerging challenges of 4G testing, and also to address multi-format testing needs with the addition of W-CDMA/HSPA+ test and lab applications,” said Joe DePond, general manager of Mobile Broadband Operations at Keysight. “With support for up to four component carriers, mixed FDD and TDD AC, and unlicensed-band aggregation, the UXM enables the validation of today’s growing variety of carrier aggregation configurations, giving engineers greater confidence in LTE-A design.”.
The latest enhancements to the UXM enable cell reselection across different LTE/W-CDMA radio access technologies (RATs), connected data handover, and disconnection with redirection, all within a single UXM test unit. This includes support for CSFB and SRVCC. Validation engineers can also connect two UXMs in an array to test mobility across up to four LTE cells and handover between multi-carrier LTE-A and W-CDMA/HSPA+ connections.
The UXM is a highly integrated signaling test suite designed for validating functional and RF designs in the 4G era and beyond. It incorporates the capabilities you need to test the latest designs, currently offering LTE-Advanced data rates of up to 600 Mbps and capable of meeting more complex requirements in the future. Evaluate your design readiness with greater confidence using the UXM.
