Creating 5G NR waveforms with vector signal generators

Testing 5G new radio (NR) base station receivers requires conducted tests, radiated tests, or a hybrid for frequency range 1 (FR1) and FR2. Receiver sensitivity, in-channel sensitivity, and dynamic range measurements are essential to analyze the uplink fixed reference channel (FRC) for 5G NR gNB receiver testing.

5G NR base station receiver test requires test equipment supporting pre-defined, standard-based conformance test setups including a vector signal generator coupled with a frequency extender and 5G NR signal generation software.

5G NR base station receiver test solution

Testing 5G new radio (NR) base station receivers requires signal generation equipment capable of creating millimeter-wave (mmWave) signals at extremely high bandwidth and tested using over-the-air (OTA) test methods. The Keysight 5G NR base station receiver test solution includes a vector signal generator, a frequency extender, and signal generation software. This synchronized multi-channel signal generation solution optimizes measurement integrity and minimizes measurement uncertainty.
