Keysight PROPSIM Channel Emulation MANET/MESH Testing
Key Features and Functions
The PROPSIM Channel Emulation Solution enables users to evaluate the end-to-end performance of mobile ad-hoc networks (MANET) and MESH radio systems under real-world radio propagation conditions. As a standard and waveform agnostic test solution, it supports all proprietary systems.
Technological advancements such as MIMO and beamforming combined with increased complexity in wireless military communication systems have accelerated the need to test large mesh network topologies with dynamically changing radio channel and interference conditions. This is why Keysight’s PROPSIM channel emulation solution supports:
- Mesh configurations of up to 64 radios in a single unit for testing large SISO and MIMO mesh-network topologies
- Full range of operating frequencies starting from HF and up to 6 GHz
- The PROPSIM channel emulation solution combines with Keysight’s E7770A Common Interface Unit to extend the frequency to 6-12GHz bands
- Up to 1.2 GHz of instantaneous bandwidth to test ultra-wideband gigabit links
