Aeroflex Introduces LTE Signal Fading Simulator

Aeroflex says that it is to launch the first one-box test system for LTE cell phone signal fading simulation. Fading simulators, combined with noise generators, modify RF signals transmitted by the LTE system simulator (in this case the 7100 Series) and emulate degradations introduced into the radio channel by real-life obstacles such as buildings and foliage.

"Until now, testing and simulating LTE fading profiles meant buying and cabling together two separate test instruments. By integrating the LTE fading simulator into the 7100 Series, Aeroflex will save customers tens of thousands of euros in purchasing additional test equipment and circumvent potential calibration errors that cause faulty test results. In addition, confidence is boosted by the repeatability of the fading profiles," said Phil Medd, product manager, Aeroflex Test Solutions.

The test scenarios presented by the 7100 Series with the fading simulator include the emulation of dynamic environments and realistic and accurate testing of MIMO (multiple-input/multiple output) scenarios.

The 7100 Series digital radio test set with fading simulator is available immediately for order.
