Aeroflex LTE Downlink Measurement Suite

Aeroflex has announced the separate availability of the LTE Downlink Measurement Suite, a range of software tools that works with the Aeroflex PXI 3000 platform to characterise the transmitter and receiver parameters of LTE base stations (eNodeB) and small cells in production test.

The LTE Downlink (FDD and TDD) Measurement Suite can be used either with the recently announced Aeroflex One-Box Base Station RF Tester, which is based on the Aeroflex PXI 3000 platform, or as an expanded application on the Aeroflex PXI 3000 Series VSA and VSG modules. The software enables RF parametric tests to be performed on macro base stations and small cells. The low-level API of the analysis library enables easy integration into the automated test system.

The suite has a user-friendly graphic interface and supports RF parametric measurements during the base station R&D design stage. It is a suitable choice for performing 7x24 regression tests as well as advanced radio signal simulation and analysis. LTE-A features such as carrier aggregation and higher order MIMO signal generation are included.
