Lab-based real-mode reproduction of field data gives R&D teams the ability to test product robustness under actual channel conditions recorded in the field, improving their ability to design high-quality products.
Operators can also use the FTL solution to test devices before deployment, as well as troubleshoot, improve, and optimize system performance.
“The timing for the launch of the new Azimuth solutions is opportune, as the wireless industry works to introduce next-generation LTE and WiMAX products and solutions, which will utilize MIMO technology to improve system performance and achieve the expected high data rates,” said Olga Yashkova, research analyst in Frost & Sullivan’s test and measurement practice. “The performance of MIMO products will vary substantially depending on the RF environment and the use of field measurements with lab-like capabilities provided by Azimuth, and the ACE MX1 wireless channel emulator will offer a solid foundation for product quality improvement.”
The new FTL solution has been designed to bridge the gap between laboratory testing and field measurement test results. Laboratory testing is typically performed using industry-approved and standardized channel models. Statistical representations of channel conditions are very useful for depicting general RF environments, which are necessary for testing and certification, but they do not reflect the specific and unique conditions experienced by a measurement device moving through RF environments in a modern wireless network.
The enhanced testing solution of the ACE MX Wireless Channel Emulator is designed to meet the demanding needs of multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) and orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) systems.
