7100 Digital Radio Test Set

Bench-top instrument with embedded PC and large touch-screen display

• 6 GHz frequency range, covering all LTE spectrum allocations
• 3GPP Rel-8 LTE protocol stack included
• Comprehensive suite of parametric measurements
• Protocol logging and analysis
• Fading/AWGN option
• Automatic network simulation
• Functional testing
• End-to-end IP packet data test
• Speed and precision for end-of production line quality tests

The Aeroflex 7100 LTE Digital Radio Test Set provides all the tools required during the design, development and test stages of UE chip sets and terminals meeting the new Rel-8 standards. All the key measurements are provided for characterizing the performance of LTE mobile devices, both at the radio interface and throughout the protocol stack, including the PCDP and IMS layers. End-to-end performance can be accurately assessed, along with correct idle mode and connected mode behavior with the 7100's Network Simulation mode.

Typical users of the 7100 LTE Digital Radio Test Set include RF developers, protocol stack teams, integration test groups and pre-conformance labs that are developing sub-systems and integrated designs that meet the requirements of the LTE standards. The 7100 also supports end-of-production-line manufacturing test, allowing sample tests on high-volume production lines to be executed. These teams benefit from the ease of use, comprehensive test capability, speed and low cost of ownership offered by the 7100.

The 7100 simulates the E-UTRAN and EPC (Enhanced Packet Core) to provide a realistic test environment for LTE terminals. Test procedures control the characteristics of the simulated network to allow a wide range of repeatable test scenarios to be created. An optional Fading Simulator and AWGN source is available, allowing real-world signal conditions to be created in the lab.
