Ensure Accurate 5G Release 16 Signal Analysis According to 3GPP Standards

A system set up for 5G signal analysis (spectrum analysis) in base station transmitter testing

In light of ever-evolving standards, signal analysis test solutions need to support higher frequencies, wider bandwidths, and new physical layer capabilities. Base stations must now pass new conformance tests to ensure they deliver on their promises, according to 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) signal analysis (or spectrum analysis) standards. 5G New Radio (NR) Release 16 base station transmitter conformance testing at high frequencies, such as millimeter-wave (mmWave), requires reliable signal analysis testing solutions to ensure accurate and reliable results.

The built-in low-noise amplifier (LNA) at the front-end of a signal analyzer (spectrum analyzer) reduces system noise figure and helps to obtain the best 5G signal analysis performance at higher frequencies and wider bandwidths. This signal analyzer (spectrum analyzer) design solution is ideal for 5G NR FR1 and FR2 applications and ensures accurate and reliable signal quality measurement in 5G base station transmitters using signal analyzers.
