Test and Measurement

This application note will focus on some of the key features of 16m and provide comparisons to the 802.16-2009 OFDMA PHY (also referred to as 16e.) with explanations of the motivations behind for the advanced features in 802.16m.

This application note describes how to interface R&S ZVA/ZVB/ZVT vector network analyzer with AWR electronic design automation (EDA) software.

This case study briefly discusses how Xilinx, Inc. verified 3GPP LTE hardware blocks using precisely configured test vectors from a credible, timely algorithmic. The solution involved Agilent's SystemVue and Agilent test equipment.

Platform overview

Since the year 2010 commercialization of the LTE technology is taking place. At the same time further enhancements of the LTE technology are worked on in order to meet ITU-Advanced requirements. This application note summarizes these necessary improvements known as LTE Advanced.

Shows the location of the RF/Microwave Zone in relation to the rest of the exhibition.

Shows all RFMzone space assignments.

Includes exhibit package details for RF/Microwave exhibitors.

With release of the latest version of Release 8 of the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) in June 2009, the core LTE specification has stabilized. 3GPP Release 8 also encompasses a considerable number of interim enhancements embodied in Evolved High-Speed Packet Access (eHSPA), also known as HSPA+.

Even with the introduction of HSPA, evolution of UMTS has not reached its end. To ensure the competitiveness of UMTS for the next 10 years and beyond, UMTS Long Term Evolution (LTE) has been introduced in 3GPP release 8. LTE, which is also known as Evolved UTRA and Evolved UTRAN, provides new physical layer concepts and protocol architecture for UMTS. This application note introduces LTE FDD and TDD technology and testing aspects.
