Using SystemVue to Integrate a Flexible R&D Testbed for LTE

应用文章

As wireless communications evolve, the structure of wireless systems is becoming ever more complex. New test signals and measurements are needed to test the performance of these systems according to the quickly evolving wireless standards. Sometimes, however, the required waveforms and measurements are not available on existing hardware instruments. At such times it is valuable to have software in the test system that can generate the new waveforms and perform advanced measurements.

 

To construct test systems that meet the requirements of new wireless standards, a number of different instruments are used. If we simply connect these instruments one by one and manually configure the test system, the task of getting this system to operate correctly will be difficult and time-consuming. A much more efficient approach is to integrate all the instruments and automate the system-level performance tests using a software tool.
