Lessons

Lesson 1 - Why do we Need Channel Emulation?

Learn about the importance of channel emulation for 5G wireless technology. Channel emulation is the process of recreating the real-world wireless channel in a laboratory environment. This allows testing the performance of wireless devices and base stations under realistic conditions, without having to deploy them in the field.

Lesson 2 - New Challenges with 5G

The new challenges that 5G wireless technology presents for channel emulation. 5G uses a wider range of frequencies than previous generations of wireless technology, which means that the signal is more susceptible to attenuation and shadowing. Channel emulation must be able to recreate these effects in order to provide a realistic testing environment.

Lesson 3 - 3GPP 5G Channel Models

Learn about the 3GPP 5G channel models. These models are used to recreate the real-world wireless channel in a laboratory environment for the purpose of testing 5G devices and base stations.

Lesson 4 - Testing RF Performance End to End in the Lab

Learn about the importance of testing RF performance end-to-end in the lab for 5G wireless technology. RF performance testing is the process of measuring the performance of a wireless device's radio frequency (RF) components. This includes testing the transmitter's ability to generate a strong signal, the receiver's ability to decode a weak signal, and the overall performance of the device in a variety of channel conditions.

Lesson 5 - 5G OTA Channel Modeling Examples

Some of the examples of OTA channel modeling for 5G. OTA channel modeling is the process of creating a mathematical model of the wireless channel. This model can then be used to simulate the behavior of the wireless channel in a laboratory environment.

Lesson 6 - 5G Channel Emulation Solutions

The importance of channel emulation for 5G wireless technology. Channel emulation is the process of recreating the real-world wireless channel in a laboratory environment. This allows engineers to test the performance of wireless devices and base stations under realistic conditions, without having to deploy them in the field.
