See the Real Performance of Your Design

Keysight's F8820A 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 5G, LTE and aerospace and defense applications.

F8820A 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
  • Signal bandwidths up to 400MHz
  • 5G NR carrier aggregation (CA) schemes up to 1.2 GHz
  • 5G NR frequency range 1 and frequency range 2
  • All 3GPP standard channel models
  • Device MIMO OTA TS38.151

F8820A supports a wide range of deployment scenarios:*

  • 5G NR non-standalone (NSA) mode (using LTE as an anchor cell)
  • 5G Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN)
  • 5G NR standalone (SA) mode
  • Coexistence scenarios – 5G NR together with 4G and other legacy technologies
  • Wi-Fi offloading scenarios

* Requires applicable product configuration and licenses
