Product overview
Sophisticated devices under test (DUT) carry many antenna ports to serve the low, mid and high bands and advanced multi-antenna schemes such as 4x4 MIMO. The R&S®CMX-Z25 is the answer to that test challenge: four CMX500 ports are enough to serve up to 16 DUT ports, so complex prototypes such as 5G smartphones, tablets, laptops and industrial modules can all be connected to a single CMX500. With the scalable CMX architecture, any 5G or 5G Advanced mobile device can be tested in one pass, with no recabling and no 3GPP band combination limitations.
Key features
- Doubles, triples or quadruples the number of CMX500 ports for complex antenna port configurations, with no recabling
- Covers all the relevant LTE and 5G FR1 bands from 410 MHz to 8 GHz
- Low RF attenuation gives excellent dynamic range and keeps test results accurate
- Supports 4x4 MIMO and higher-order antenna schemes for 5G Advanced and next-generation bands
- Integrates seamlessly with the CMX500, removing 3GPP band combination limits so one tester covers the whole test
- Suited to connecting the antenna ports of complex prototypes such as 5G smartphones, tablets, laptops and industrial modules
Typical applications
- Development and certification testing of 5G Advanced mobile devices
- Functional validation of complex prototypes with many antenna ports
- Multiband, multi-layer MIMO signaling tests on LTE / 5G FR1
- Antenna performance assessment of 5G smartphones, tablets, laptops and industrial modules
- Parallel multi-DUT test setups that need no recabling
