Keysight's F8820B PROPSIM FS16 RF Channel Emulator enables you to perform in-lab benchmarking of devices, base stations, digital radios, and sensor systems across the entire product workflow – from research and development to acceptance and field performance optimization. PROPSIM FS16 emulates the dynamic radio channels between transmitters and receivers in real time. It cost-effectively supports uni-directional and bi-directional fading test configurations required in wireless testing across 6G, 5G, LTE, and aerospace and defense applications.

F8820B fulfills all 5G NR key technical requirements, including:
  • Signal bandwidths 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50, 60, 80, 90, 100, 200, 400 MHz
  • 5G NR carrier aggregation (CA) schemes up to 1.6 GHz
  • 5G NR frequency range 1 and frequency range 2
  • All 3GPP standard channel models
  • Device MIMO OTA TS38.151

F8820B supports a wide range of deployment scenarios:

  •  
  • 5G and 5G Advanced in non-standalone (NSA) and standalone (SA) modes
  • Non-Terrestrial Networks, NTN (3GPP and non-3GPP)
  • Prototyping 6G technologies 
  • Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) and prototyping Wi-Fi 8 (802.11bn) technologies
  • Ultra-wideband and Bluetooth LE use cases
  • RF channel emulation from HF to mmWave frequencies
