Highlights

S8808A ISAC Channel Emulation Toolset enables researchers, chipset vendors, and network equipment manufacturers to develop and validate integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) algorithms and prototypes in a lab environment, before deploying them in the field. The S8808A supports the complete ISAC test workflow - from software modeling of sensing targets, background scenes, and communication channels to hardware-in-the-loop real-time emulation on the PROPSIM platform - enabling uninterrupted 24/7 test execution.

The S8808A accelerates ISAC development cycles, reduces deployment risks, and delivers robust performance across a wide range of 5G-Advanced and 6G use cases. For industries driving the future of wireless connectivity, lab-based ISAC validation isn’t just an advantage - it’s mission-critical.

Key Capabilities

  • 3GPP standard compliant - The toolset enables standard-aligned ISAC modeling according to TR 38.901 Release 19 V19.5.0 and end-to-end validation of sensing KPIs defined in TR 22.837 V19.4.0.
  • Realistic sensing environments - Supports hundreds of simultaneous sensing targets to emulate in real-time dense and dynamic scenarios.
  • Advanced antenna configurations - Enables massive Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) testing, including large-scale antenna configurations for emerging 6G research.
  • Flexible sensing configurations - Supports monostatic, bistatic and multistatic setups to evaluate different sensing architectures.
  • Custom target modeling - Uses radar cross-section (RCS) models and micro-Doppler signatures to represent different real-world sensing targets.
