Test-and-measurement equipment vendor Rohde & Schwarz has released an “LTE Test Case Wizard” that it says “radically simplifies” base-station testing by easing the task of generating the correct signals for specific LTE base station test scenarios.
An operator of a signal generator only has to select the appropriate test case and the wizard will configure the desired LTE signal, interferers, AWGN and fading, Rohde & Schwarz said in a statement.
Wizard functionality includes automatic selection of the correct LTE reference measurement channel, setting of the required LTE resource block allocations and configuration of the interfering signals. All power levels of the different signal components automatically conform to the test specification.
