Overview

Spirent MIMO beamforming provides an easy-to-use solution that can effectively simplify the creation of complex RF environments required for MIMO and beam-moulded testing. Backed by industry-leading expertise, the solution builds on the Usboren world-class VR5 Space channel Simulator, which enables the most accurate and coherent variety of spatial channels and model simulations. This is essential for testing technologies such as LTE-TDD, LTE-FDD, and 802.11ac, and also involves carrier aggregation using MIMO beamforming techniques.

Features and advantages

Rapid Automatic Phase Calibration
Phase calibration is performed in an automated manner, extremely fast, and can reliably and accurately reflect changes in frequency, power, signal-to-noise ratio and channel models. The MIMO test system does not need to disconnect and reconnect the cable, which can greatly shorten the time of setup and reduce the possibility of human error.
Up to 8x4 two-way beam shape
Without the use of external RF components, it is possible to complete test settings for very advanced and complex techniques, such as 8x4 or 8x2 beam moulding, which greatly simplifies the original, extremely complex test settings. This is extremely useful when testing tdd-lte or tdd-lte-a scenarios.
Easy to use
This solution has simplified calibration procedures, as well as integrated VR5 two-way RF connection and simple intuitive VR5 graphical user interface, so the system is easy to set up and use.
Wide Bandwidth Support
The VR5 channel emulator can easily test the 802.11AC WiFi channel model and support 6GHz and 100MHz under basic factory settings, without the need to upgrade the hardware at all.
3D MIMO Beam Type
The new Advanced Channel Modeling utility can realize the precise test of 3D MIMO beamforming by using the virtual beam shaping model of 3D geometry channel.
