DATA SHEET F8800B PROPSIM F64 Radio channel emulator Real-World Performance Testing in the Lab PROPSIM F64 is a versatile multi-channel radio channel emulation solution that enables users to emulate field test conditions in a laboratory environment for software and hardware testing of 5G radio network systems, mobile devices, WLAN, MESH/MANET type of radios, satellite communications. It is used to perform wireless industry benchmarking across the entire product creation workflow – from research and development to acceptance and field performance optimization. The PROPSIM F64 emulates dynamic radio channels between transmitters and receivers and is thus independent of system technology or signal modulations. Its capabilities are designed for realistic and repeatable end-to-end real-world performance testing of multimode devices and base stations in the laboratory to accelerate successful product rollouts and deployments. Take testing to the next level Industry-leading mobile device, modem, and network equipment manufacturers use Keysight’s PROPSIM F64 Radio Channel Emulator to develop and validate new technologies and features for • 5G Advanced and prototyping 6G. Wi-Fi 7 and prototyping Wi-Fi 8. UWB and Bluetooth® LE • Aerospace and Airborne radios and Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN). MANET/mesh radio systems. Mixed terrestrial, aerospace, and satellite radio systems • Verify new hardware and software releases in a 24/7 automated test environment The unique capabilities of PROPSIM F64 enable users to validate a wide range of RF and mmWave radio communication systems in the aerospace, avionics, satellite, and defense ind
