5G FR1 AND FR2 ANTENNA MEASUREMENT AND OTA TESTING SOLUTIONS OVERVIEW

SHAPING THE FUTURE OF 5G OTA TESTING V ISION – The connected society enabled by 5G 5G Smart cities Internet of Things lays the foundation for a connected society in the near future. A world where everything that benefits from being connected will be connected. The Internet will shift from computer screens and smartphones into the physical world, where objects will communicate directly with each other. Examples range from automated factories with production and logistics efficiencies reaching new heights to self-driving cars and services, farming, medical services, consumer electronics,...

5G FR1 and FR2 Antenna Measurement and OTA Testing Solutions Overview C HALLENGE – Technological requirements that pave the way to 5G What is 5G? 5G is the first-generation of wireless mobile standard developed for more than voice and data use. 5G networks will allow ten times higher bandwidth, manage a very large number of connection and ensure quick and reliable transmissions. Based on user experience, system performance, enhanced services, business models and management operations 5G connections will depends on the development of three cornerstones: ➊ ENHANCED MOBILE BROADBAND SPEED AND...

O ver-The-Air (OTA) testing challenges for the 5G network Tests and measurements of 5G enabled devices and base transceiver stations (BTS) differ significantly from what was done before. From a technical perspective, introducing mmWaves devices into our telecommunications network poses a number of testing challenges. The RF architecture in 5G devices and the higher frequencies used will require tests traditionally performed through coaxial cables in RF labs to be tested OTA, as there won’t be any physical connectors available in the devices. In addition to antenna testing, all other RF...

5G FR1 and FR2 Antenna Measurement and OTA Testing Solutions Overview I MPACT – Product development towards the 5G era 5G is an evolving standard, and most importantly, the amount of applications and use cases are expected to increase over time as 5G is deployed in new industries and markets. This will drive a continuous need for new test solutions, as well as adaptations of existing solutions to be introduced. One of the bigger challenges in the 5G markets is the test capacity increase needed for 5G product development, as most tests will be done OTA instead of through cables. We can see...

5G FR1 and FR2 Antenna Measurement and OTA Testing Solutions Overview Single-probe systems Multi-probe systems As a testing technology, the highly effective multi-probe systems have evolved with the development of cellular and connectivity technologies in the last 25 years. They are today a reference for OTA testing of wireless devices. While concepts such as testing in near- and far-field (NF, FF) is less critical in current 1-4G standardization, OTA testing and performances of devices is likely to be a critical issue for 5G, including the necessity to test at system level the devices in...
