S9160A Massive MIMO and MIMO RF Beamforming Test Accelerator
技术概述
Massive multiple-input, multiple-output (mMIMO) is the key technology in delivering the promises of 5G as it enables drastic improvements in cell throughput without need for additional spectrum. mMIMO capable 5G base station forms user specific 3-dimensional spatial RF signal beams to co-schedule data streams in uplink and downlink towards multiple users in same time and frequency resources.
S9160A Massive MIMO and MIMO RF Beamforming Test Accelerator is a scalable multi-port RF test solution designed and validated for 5G RAN or O-RAN base station and Radio Unit testing. The solution is addressing testing needs in 5G radio design workflow from antenna integration, L1/L2 beam scheduling, end-to-end functional multi-user beamforming validation of live network base station with multiple User Equipment (UEs). Solution is extendable to support 3GPP 5G NR base station conformance tests and O-RAN Alliance defined O-RAN Radio Unit conformance tests including beamform tests. Tier-1 equipment and network operators use today S9160A Massive MIMO and MIMO RF Beamforming Test Accelerator to ensure their Massive MIMO capable networks operate at the highest performance level.
