Validate 5G New Radio Receiver Performance

Generating 5G new radio (NR) receiver test signals requires standards-based waveform creation, channel coding, and signal configuration that matches the receiver condition under test. Engineers can create 3G partnership project (3GPP)-compliant downlink and uplink waveforms for receiver validation, including test signals used for bit error rate (BER), block error rate (BLER), packet error rate (PER), and frame error rate (FER) analysis. The signal setup may include bandwidth, numerology, modulation, coding, physical channel, reference signal, and antenna-port configuration.

The test setup generates the required baseband waveform and downloads it to a supported vector signal generator or embedded signal-generation platform for RF, intermediate frequency (IF), or in-phase/quadrature (IQ) stimulus. Engineers can use 5G NR test models, fixed reference channels, physical uplink control channel setups, and physical random access channel configurations to create repeatable receiver test conditions. This supports receiver sensitivity, demodulation, decoding, and system-level validation across defined 5G NR and 5G-Advanced signal scenarios.

5G New Radio Receiver Test Solution

Generate 5G New Radio receiver test signals by creating 3GPP-compliant, channel-coded waveforms and playing them through a supported signal-generation platform. The solution uses PathWave Signal Generation for 5G NR/5G-Advanced with compatible Keysight Vector Signal Generators to create receiver-focused signals for BER, BLER, PER, and FER validation. Engineers can configure downlink and uplink channels, test models, fixed reference channels, physical uplink control channel, and physical random access channel signals. The same waveform content can support RF, IF, and IQ receiver stimulus across development, integration, and system validation.
