FLEET, England, September 8, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --
Propsim Channel Emulators enable
test houses and manufacturers of wireless
equipment to fulfil CTIA standardised
MIMO OTA performance test
plan
Anite, a global leader in wireless equipment testing technology,
today announced that it has played a pivotal role in accelerating
the initial release of the CTIA[1]
standardised MIMO2 Over-the-Air3 (OTA) performance test plan
published last month.
Anite has contributed channel emulation expertise to the CTIA
MIMO OTA subgroup since it was set up in 2011. Anite's Propsim
Channel Emulator supports all CTIA channel model requirements (both
MIMO and Transmit Diversity testing) allowing users to
comprehensively and quickly verify that mobile devices meet
expected industry requirements. Anite is the only vendor that
offers an integrated solution - approved by all major systems
integrators - enabling LTE and LTE-Advanced testing of up to 32
channels in a single unit, simplifying set-up and reducing
cost.
Anite's Propsim F32 Channel Emulator is the only single unit
Channel Emulator that supports the minimum requirement of eight
dual polarized antennas for MIMO OTA testing in an anechoic
chamber. It can be expanded to support 16 dual polarized antennas
(required for testing larger devices), making it a future-proof
solution for upcoming technologies and device formats.
Propsim Channel Emulators accurately and reliably replicate the
RF field conditions of a live network in an anechoic or
reverberation chamber. Anite is the only test vendor to offer a
channel model verification tool compatible with the CTIA channel
model requirements. The tool enables system integrators, test
houses, mobile operators and device manufacturers to quickly verify
that the setup is compliant with CTIA channel model
requirements.
Paul Beaver, Products Director at
Anite's Device & Infrastructure Testing business, comments:
"Anite has a long history of successful collaboration with key
industry organisations to develop new technology. This latest
milestone demonstrates the value of our globally recognised
MIMO OTA testing and channel
emulation expertise."
[1] CTIA-The Wireless
Association® is an international non-profit membership
organisation that has represented the wireless communications
industry since 1984.
[2] MIMO (Multiple Input
Multiple Output) technology uses antenna configurations where both
the base station and the device are equipped with multiple
transmit/receive antennas.
[3] Over-the-Air testing is
conducted in the laboratory and involves testing a wireless device
without any connected cables, thereby incorporating the device
antenna performance.
