Product overview
The R&S®TS8980 is the most compact full range conformance testing solution on the market and meets the requirements of GCF, PTCRB and national regulatory authorities. It covers the entire mobile device certification process for RF and RRM across one of the widest ranges of wireless technologies available, 5G NR to the 3GPP specifications and carrier acceptance specifications included. The system scales to the size the test task requires, whether for design verification, precompliance or final type approval testing. With the R&S®CONTEST sequencer tool, the whole certification process runs fully automatically around the clock with no user interaction.
Key features
- 5G certification in FR1 (sub-6 GHz) and FR2 (mmWave), to the latest 3GPP specifications
- Covers all three categories: RF conformance, carrier acceptance and regulatory testing
- Runs TX, RX, demodulation and radio resource management (RRM) measurements
- The R&S®CONTEST sequencer tool manages the test flow for every technology from one place
- Modular and fully automated, for uninterrupted 24/7 measurement with no operator involvement
- Scalable hardware and software allows cost-efficient testing solutions
- Configurable for design verification, precompliance or final type approval use
- The most compact full range conformance testing platform on the market
Typical applications
- Mobile device type approval: meets the requirements of the GCF and PTCRB certification bodies so that handsets, tablets and other mobile devices gain access to international markets
- Carrier acceptance testing: validates devices against the specifications of the major network operators so they meet the requirements for launch on an operator network
- 5G NR development and design verification: RF performance verification in the sub-6 GHz and mmWave bands early in product development, shortening time to market
- Regulatory precompliance testing: full regulatory compliance verification before formal submission, lowering the risk and cost of a failed certification
- Radio resource management (RRM) conformance testing: with the R&S®TS-RRM system, verifies standard-compliant device behaviour for channel switching, power control and handover
- LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) Release 11/12 testing: compliance testing of advanced features such as LTE carrier aggregation (CA) and coordinated multipoint (CoMP)
