Accelerate device assessment with quick test execution
PROPSIM FAST-OTA capability supports a 12x faster test execution time compared to any other commercial solution on the market. Scalable from a single cluster to full 3D, it supports a configuration of 8 or 16 dual polarized antennas to create a multi-probe environment around the device under test.
5G NR mmWave deployments rely on full mobility support and 3D beamforming at the base station and on the mobile device. RF propagation condition at mmWave frequencies is much more challenging compared to sub-6GHz frequencies due to high blocking.
Keysight’s mmWave device multi-beam MIMO OTA R&D test tools enable users to validate mmWave mobile devices prior to deployment, supporting:
- Device MIMO OTA data performance testing under spatial fading channel conditions
- Device Multi-beam MIMO OTA testing under clean and fading channel
- Validated test tools for 5G NR mmWave device testing
