Deeper analysis for broadband signals
Aeroflex has added a broad array of new signal measurement capabilities to its Celerity CS35000 Series broadband signal analyser and recorder family (BSA).
With TD-SCDMA mobile terminal and basestation technology now reaching maturity, the protocol conformance test system to be jointly developed by Aeroflex and Beijing StarPoint will support its commercial roll-out, both speeding up and decreasing the cost of deployment by reducing the requirement for extensive field and interoperability trials.
To expedite the development of the TD-SCDMA protocol conformance test system, Aeroflex and Beijing StarPoint will each make technology available for the project from its existing products.
Already a global leader in protocol conformance test with extensive experience in developing GSM, CDMA and W-CDMA test systems that have been widely adopted by the wireless communications industry, Aeroflex has been tracking the development of the TD-SCDMA standard since 2001.
Additionally Beijing StarPoint has developed and is already shipping a TD-SCDMA mobile tester - the SP6010 - which also uses Aeroflex's PXI modules.
"Apart from Beijing StarPoint's SP6010 mobile terminal tester, only relatively simple test equipment such as signal generators and spectrum analysers has been available to date for TD-SCDMA", says Stephen Hire, Aeroflex Asia's Director of Marketing.
"Our agreement with Beijing StarPoint marks a significant milestone in the development of the sophisticated protocol conformance test systems needed to support the rapid roll-out of TD-SCDMA".
"With around 500 million mobile phone subscribers, making China the world's largest single market, the opportunity for TD-SCDMA is enormous", says Dr Xu Guo Xin, CEO of Beijing StarPoint Telecommunication Software Company.
"Our agreement with Aeroflex will ensure the rapid development of a full TD-SCDMA protocol conformance test system and reinforce our ability to meet early market demand for comprehensive TD-SCDMA test solutions".
