S8711A UXM 5G Test Application

The UXM 5G Test Application is a comprehensive testing tool that allows you to fully control the network environment and validate customized testing campaigns through RF Performance & Functional KPI. It is a transversal and scalable tool from development to acceptance. It represents the baseline for growth and evolving technology. Therefore, it can be used alone running on the UXM 5G unit or as a component of certain 5G NES toolsets, it easily scales up with all software solutions  on a common hardware and software platform.

The UXM 5G is an interactive real-time testing tool that covers the full chipset and device development workflow from early prototype testing through integration and verification. A comprehensive suite of tools for network emulation, RF and functional testing, allows for a high level of autonomy in configuration and parametrization.

The Test Application Framework has an easy-to-use interface through which you can handle all operations related to emulation and testing across all scenarios: powerful GUI, log viewer and remote control through SCPI interface.

SA8700A C-V2X Test Solution

Autonomous vehicles (AVs) depend on technologies that enable greater situational awareness: observing, predicting, and automatically takins87g action. Cellular vehicle-to-everything (C-V2X) has emerged as the wireless link that can help developers achieve higher levels of autonomous operation. However, because C-V2X is built on the evolving 5G standard, its test requirements are a moving target.

Keysight offers a solution that is tracking along with the evolving C-V2X requirements. The SA8700A Test Solution supports RF, protocol and application-layer testing, and the underlying platform will support future releases of 5G NR C-V2X. This protects your initial investment and will accelerate deployment of the technologies that enable advanced AV capabilities.

The foundation is the proven Keysight UXM 5G wireless test set coupled with the C-V2X test application (C8732114A), a suite of Keysight X-Apps C-V2X RF measurements (C87320R1A), C-V2X waveform generation (C87320R2A), an intelligent transportation system (ITS) stack, and application-layer testing. If you’re already using another Keysight solution for 4G LTE or 5G testing, the C-V2X solution leverages the same X-Apps and the same measurement algorithms used in our signal analyzers and wireless test sets.
