R&S®TS8970 Mobile WiMAX™ RCT

RX/TX test system in line with WiMAX™ MRCT test specification

Brief Description

The R&S®TS8970 is the reference tool of choice for the RF characterization of Mobile WiMAX™ products. Many of the WiMAX Forum® Designated Certification Labs (WFDCL) successfully rely on the R&S®TS8970 in their certification work. The test system has also become a lab favorite in the precertification of products at manufacturers of WiMAX™ infrastructure and mobile stations. Owing to the complexity of the simulation of MIMO channels, the R&S®TS8970 is also frequently used in the WiMAX™ R&D lab.

The R&S®TS8970 enables users to test a Mobile WiMAX™ base station (BS) or a Mobile WiMAX™ mobile station (MS) and is available as a combined system with BS/MS switchover. The test cases offered reflect the current version of the WiMAX Forum® Mobile WiMAX™ Radio Conformance Test (MRCT) specification.
