The software-defined radio (SDR) of the mmWave transceiver system and application-specific software provide a comprehensive and general starting point for 5G research and measurement, meeting the specifications of 3GPP and Verizon 5G.
The mmWave transceiver system can operate as an access point or user device in any over-the-air test scenario. Users can also develop communication prototype systems or perform channel measurements—essential exercises for wireless system researchers to understand the characteristics of a new spectrum—using the same system. The software works with previously released 71–76 GHz radio heads, so users can easily adapt their mmWave transceiver system to 28 GHz by changing the RF radio heads.
Furthermore, the mmWave transceiver system's baseband software provides a complete communications physical layer, compliant with the proposed 3GPP and Verizon 5G specifications, as source code for LabVIEW system design software. This helps accelerate system development by offering a ready-to-run system that users can modify to suit their specific research or testing needs.
The new radio heads include the mmRH-3642, mmRH-3652 and mmRH-3602.
Addressing the challenges of multiport and multisite testing
Devices with multiple ports require fast and accurate multiport network analysis. Optimize your vector network analyzer configuration to minimize testing costs for these devices.
