Product overview

The R&S®TS-LBS is a comprehensive test solution for network-based and satellite-based location based services (LBS) testing of wireless devices and chipsets. The system is highly configurable and covers LBS conformance testing and carrier acceptance testing of GSM, WCDMA, LTE and 5G devices, as well as EN 303 413 receiver regulatory testing and the GNSS test requirements of E112 (EU) 2019/320 for Galileo and advanced mobile location (AML). Built around the R&S®CMW500 multi-technology network emulator and the R&S®SMBV100A GNSS simulator, it scales from development work up to full type approval and operator acceptance testing.

Key features

  • Full coverage of satellite, cellular, indoor and hybrid positioning: A-GNSS (GPS, Glonass, BeiDou), Bluetooth®, barometric and Wi-Fi standalone positioning, plus the OTDOA/eCID, UL-TDOA, DL-TDOA, UL-AoA, DL-AoD and multi-RTT network positioning methods
  • Wide standards coverage: 3GPP protocol conformance and minimum performance testing (37.571-1/2, 34.123, 51.010-1); OMA SUPL 2.0 protocol conformance; carrier acceptance test plans (AT&T, Verizon Wireless, T-Mobile, NTT DoCoMo)
  • Latest 5G NSA and SA FR1 / FR2 A-GNSS support, covering positioning tests in both the 5G NR millimeterwave and sub-6 GHz bands
  • Field-to-lab record and replay: 16-bit high-fidelity recording and replay of GPS, Glonass, BeiDou and SBAS satellite signals; removable SSD; synchronized recording of hybrid GNSS and network positioning
  • Highly automated: fully automated test sequences and test plan execution for continuous 24/7 operation; automated path calibration; live report generator and summary report manager
  • Flexibly expandable GNSS simulator (R&S®SMBV100A) with options for GPS (R&S®SMBV-K44), A-GPS (K65), Glonass (K94), A-Glonass (K95), BeiDou (K107), GNSS Enhanced (K92) and the 12-satellite extension (K91)
  • Development support features: parameter evaluation mode (PEM), margin search, user-defined GNSS scenarios, E911 R&D functions and the CMWmars multipurpose log file analyser
  • Intuitive R&S®CONTEST GUI: drag-and-drop test plan creation; graphical DUT antenna configuration; live PASS/FAIL results; HTML report output; integration with an external PostgreSQL database

Typical applications

  • 3GPP and CTIA conformance certification testing (GCF / PTCRB validation)
  • Carrier acceptance testing (AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile and NTT DoCoMo test plans)
  • Design verification and development testing, across the development, precertification and type approval stages
  • Pre-launch evaluation and performance benchmarking
  • Positioning function testing of mobile applications
  • Regression testing
  • Over-the-air (OTA) performance testing, with the R&S®TS8991 system
  • Satellite signal recording and lab replay (field-to-lab record and replay)
