Software generates Wi-SUN, LTE, and LTE-Advanced signals

Two additions to Keysight Technologies’ Signal Studio software suite of signal-creation tools target R&D and manufacturing engineers developing or testing the conformance of devices to the IEEE 802.15.4g-based Wi-SUN standard and LTE/LTE-Advanced uplink 2×2 MIMO with real-time HARQ (hybrid automatic repeat request).

Wi-SUN is intended to advance and enable interoperable and reliable, cost-effective, low-power, wireless utility products for wireless smart utility networks and related applications. The N7610B Signal Studio software generates Wi-SUN signals and supports the standard’s MR-FSK and MR-OFDM modes. Its advanced capability enables receiver conformance testing using Keysight signal generators, as well as R&D and manufacturing testing using Keysight signal-analysis tools.

According to the manufacturer, the N7624B/25B Signal Studio for LTE/LTE-Advanced is the industry’s first platform to support LTE uplink 2×2 MIMO with real-time HARQ signal generation and makes the company the sole provider of a complete LTE eNB receiver conformance test solution. The N7624B/25B can be used by base-station R&D engineers working on LTE eNB receiver conformance testing to the 3GPP TS 36.141 standard.

Option QFP (Advanced MR-FSK) and Option RFP (Advanced MR-OFDM) for N7610B Signal Studio cost $2800 and $3500, respectively. Signal Studio LTE/LTE-Advanced N7624B-WFP (FDD) and N7625B-WFP (TDD) cost $9687 each.
