Optimize Signal Quality In 5G Private Network Base Stations

Enterprises can harness the advantages of 5G private networks for businesses with support from the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) standards, Release 16, and more. In order to provide a comprehensive coverage of 5G new radio (NR) private network, 5G NR measurement applications running on a signal analyzer should be able to measure and interpret transmitter tests. Some key tests include output power, output power dynamics, transmit ON/OFF power, transmit signal quality, unwanted emissions, and transmitter intermodulation. Therefore, it is essential to select testing devices that can provide robust performance and ensure that the base station transmitters in the network perform to standards. To characterize and test millimeter-wave (mmWave) products' true performance, designers and manufacturers need to address testing challenges that make the signal quality more susceptible to impairments. Error vector magnitude (EVM) measurement can give powerful insight into the performance of a digital communication base station transmitter and is one of the primary metrics to assess the quality of the transmitted signal. This white paper will discuss the EVM measurement as a key component of transmit signal quality in 5G private network base stations, the testing challenges that mmWave poses, and the Keysight solutions that address these challenges.

Ensure Your Base Station Transmitter Complies with 5G NR Rel 16

In light of ever-evolving standards, test solutions need to support higher frequencies, wider bandwidths, and new physical layer capabilities. Thanks to the much faster, more reliable, and near-instant connections that come with the 5G, we now see a variety of innovative and comprehensive mobile wireless communication applications every day. Base stations must now pass new conformance tests to ensure they deliver on their promises. Performing conformance testing is an important part of the base station lifecycle, which requires a thorough understanding of 3rd generation partnership project (3GPP) specifications. This paper discusses 5G NR Release 16 base station transmitter conformance testing requirements and the specific challenges that arise in millimeter wave (mmWave) frequency testing. We will also discuss how to stay compliant with standards using the new designs in Keysight signal analysis solutions, when testing your base station transmitters.
