Accelerate Wireless Design and TestWith flexible, high-performance platforms

Today LTE or Long Term Evolution is well on its way to becoming the first single global standard for cellular communications. Providing the delivery of the next generation of mobile broadband, LTE and now LTE-Advanced continues to provide many challenges to the engineers developing and delivering products that work to the standards.

Keysight Technologies, Inc. is a leader in wireless test, focused on the highest-performance design and test of wireless devices and networks, with application-focused platforms optimized for existing and emerging standards. Integrated platforms feature the industry’s broadest range of both hardware (benchtop and modular instruments) and software building blocks, and span the entire development cycle—from early design simulation to manufacturing. Leveraging Keysight unparalleled wireless measurement and application expertise, these building blocks help you anticipate and respond to emerging RF challenges in wireless devices and networks with the high performance and flexibility needed to provide the right solution for any situation.

Keysight is a member of 3GPP and an active contributor to the development of next-generation specifications. Keysight product plans are based on the knowledge and insight gained from this participation to ensure our suite of design and test solutions keep pace with evolving technology. Our robust knowledge library of application notes, webcasts, videos, CDs and now with our 2nd Edition of the LTE book is designed to help you interpret, clarify and test to an evolving LTE and LTE-Advanced standard. Accelerate wireless design and test.

Keeping Pace with Technology

LTE-Advanced

Moving Forward to Increase Capacity

LTE-Advanced is the evolved version of LTE that is being developed by 3GPP to meet or exceed the requirements of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) for a true fourth generation radio-communication standard known as IMT-Advanced. LTE-Advanced is defined in Release 10 and all the follow on releases including Release 12. LTE-Advanced is focused on higher capacity with increased peak data, higher spectral efficiency, increased number of simultaneously active subscribers and improved performance at cell edges.

TD-LTE

Evolving LTE Specifications — from FDD-LTE to TD-LTE

Following the integration of the Chinese TD-SCDMA standard, based on Time Division Duplex (TDD), into the 3GPP specifications for LTE, chipset and device designers are now working to include TDD capability. Now known as TD-LTE, the standard caters to the asymmetric needs of mobile data usage, and allows carriers to make use of the unpaired spectrum that many of them already own. Keysight was the first to provide solutions for testing this new technology and currently offers TD-LTE solutions from design simulation to signal generation and analysis.

MIMO

New Multiple Input Multiple Output Transmission Scenarios

The specified RF environment for LTE includes not only basic signal transmission and reception, but also multiple input multiple output (MIMO) scenarios with up to four separate transmitters and receivers. For module and component test, complex frame-based test signals are passed through the device under test and measured using vector signal analysis to determine EVM and CCDF. Keysight offers a complete set of design and test solutions for MIMO technology—from design simulation to signal generation and analysis through manufacturing and deployment.

Heterogeneous Networks

Adding to the LTE Architecture with Small Cells

Another way to expand capacity is with small cells. Small cells offer flexibility, bring down the costs of installation and lower power usage but they also bring along test challenges such as interference design and test and the need for lower cost manufacturing. Building on our demonstrated history of leadership and proven track record delivering base-station test equipment, Keysight offers small cell design and test solutions to help you meet your design and production-cost goals.
