6G ISAC Emulation

样机

This video introduces a practical demonstration of Integrated Sensing and Communication (ISAC) emulation, a key technology for future wireless systems, including 6G. ISAC enables wireless networks to simultaneously transmit data and sense the environment, unlocking new capabilities in mobility, automation, and situational awareness.

 

The demo showcases a typical ISAC use case, where a base station transmits signals and receives reflections from various emulated objects. Using Keysight’s PROPSIM channel emulator, the system simulates dynamic scenarios involving:

  • A bird (purple)
  • A car (blue)
  • A UAV (green)
  • A sailboat (dark green)

 

These objects are placed within a virtual environment, and their movement is visualized on a map. The emulator configures signal paths and propagation effects to mimic real-world conditions, allowing researchers to study how different objects affect signal characteristics.

 

The PROPSIM UI displays the configuration and simulation results, including:

  • Background signals
  • Object-specific reflections
  • Real-time signal reception at the base station

 

This emulation helps validate ISAC algorithms by showing how the base station interprets signals from moving objects. It provides insights into object detection, classification, and tracking all while maintaining communication performance.

 

ISAC is expected to play a critical role in 6G networks, enabling applications such as:

  • Smart transportation systems
  • Autonomous drones
  • Maritime monitoring
  • Environmental sensing

 

By combining sensing and communication in a unified framework, ISAC reduces hardware complexity and spectrum usage while enhancing network intelligence.

 

This demo illustrates how Keysight’s tools can support ISAC research and development, offering a flexible and realistic platform for testing advanced wireless scenarios.
