FLEET, England, March 31, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --
Industry leading
RF channel density enables advanced
MIMO OTA testing with
Multi Probe Anechoic Chamber
Anite, a global leader in wireless equipment testing technology,
has today announced that its industry leading Propsim F32 Channel
Emulator supports advanced MIMO OTA
mobile device testing using a Multi Probe Anechoic Chamber (MPAC)
methodology as recommended by
3GPP[1]. This innovative test
environment enables users to verify that mobile devices with the
latest technology features, including multiple antenna
configurations and carrier aggregation, perform as expected.

Anite has been an integral part of 3GPP since the start of the
study on test methodologies for advanced MIMO OTA testing. All major test system
integrators have benefited from using Anite's Propsim F32 Channel
Emulator to provide results to the standards community. In
September last year, Anite also announced that it had helped to
accelerate the initial release of the CTIA standardised MIMO OTA
performance test plan.
The Propsim F32 is a single unit channel emulator that supports
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.
Paul Beaver, Products Director at
Anite's Device & Infrastructure Testing business commented:
"Anite has played an instrumental part in developing the most
advanced MIMO OTA testing
methodologies, making key contributions to the 3GPP standards. As a
result, users of Anite's channel emulators are able to verify that
the latest LTE devices perform as expected in real-world
scenarios."
