LTE RF Design and Measurement
Based on the book LTE and the Evolution to 4G Wireless – Design and Measurement Challenges
Course Overview
This two-day class provides a strong test foundation for RF engineers engaged in 3GPP Long Term Evolution (LTE) technology and is based on the groundbreaking new book LTE and the Evolution to 4G Wireless – Design and Measurement Challenge. Written by Keysight's measurement experts, the book provides technical and practical knowledge about the complex LTE technology for RF design engineers and their management. Conducted by these experts, the class focuses on handset and base station RF measurements and provides hands-on lab time with the latest LTE test solutions.
What you will learn
- Understanding of the key concepts of LTE and the emerging standards.
- How the UE and eNB Physical Layers are defined.
- Challenges of Receiver Design and Measurement.
- Challenges of Transmitter Design and Measurement.
- Specific Design and Measurement Challenges of Multiple Input and Multiple Output (MIMO) systems.
