WCDMA conformance tester switches to R and D
In addition to WCDMA conformance testing, the R and S CRTU-W from Rohde and Schwarz can now also be used for signalling tests in research and development.
Rohde and Schwarz has now developed an MBMS test scenario for the R and S CRTU-W protocol tester that allows manufacturers of mobile radio user equipment and chipsets to check the functioning of their products.
The company is among the first to provide such a solution for the development of MBMS-capable user equipment.
With an expansion of the R and S CRTU-WT02 option, the MBMS test scenario can be implemented with up to four transmission channels.
For this purpose, in addition to the R and S CRTU-W, only an internal data generator or external media server is necessary.
The transmission channels support datarates of up to 128 or 256Kbit/s, and the datarate can be defined as desired for each channel.
As the solution includes extensive logging capabilities, functional errors of user equipment can be easily analysed.
The expanded R and S CRTU-WT02 option is now available from Rohde and Schwarz and can also be installed on existing CRTU-W protocol testers by means of software update at a later date. Request a free brochure from Rohde and Schwarz ...
