Signal Studio for Mobile WiMAX™ N7615C

Technical Overview

– Create Keysight validated and performance optimized Mobile WiMAX and WiBro reference signals compliant with the IEEE 802.16 Wireless MAN-OFDMA PHY standards

– Test components with single- and multi-carrier signals

– Configure downlink and uplink channel parameters for testing space-time coding (STC) and MIMO features, as well as new features in the IEEE 802.16-2009 (formerly 802.16 Rev2) standard such as cyclic delay diversity (CDD) and FDD/H-FDD frames

– Accelerate the signal creation process with a user interface based on parameterized and graphical signal configuration and tree-style navigation 

Simplify Mobile WiMAX Signal Creation  

Keysight Signal Studio software is a flexible suite of signal-creation tools that will reduce the time you spend on signal simulation. For Mobile WiMAX, Signal Studio’s performance-optimized reference signals—validated by Keysight—enhance the characterization and verification of your devices. Through its application-specific user-interface you’ll create standards-based and custom test signals for component, transmitter, and receiver test.

Component and transmitter test  

Signal Studio’s basic capabilities use waveform playback mode to create and customize waveform files needed to test components and transmitters. Its user-friendly interface lets you configure signal parameters, calculate the resulting waveforms and download files for playback. The applications for these partially coded, statistically correct signals include:

– Parametric test of components, such as amplifiers and filters

– Performance characterization and verification of RF sub-systems

Receiver test  

Signal Studio’s advanced capabilities enable you to create fully channel-coded signals for receiver bit-error-rate (BER), block-error-rate (BLER), packet-error-rate (PER), or frame error rate (FER) analysis. Applications include:  

– Performance verification and functional test of receivers, during RF/baseband integration and system verification

– Coding verification of baseband subsystems, including FPGAs, ASICs, and DSPs

Apply your signals in real-world testing

Once you have setup your signals in Signal Studio, you can download them to a variety of Keysight instruments and software platforms. Signal Studio software complements these platforms by providing a cost-effective way to tailor them to your test needs in design, development and production test.
