STEVENAGE, U.K. -- To speed up real-world testing of mobile handsets for LTE networks ahead of network deployment, Aeroflex is introducing the first one-box test system for cell phone signal fading simulation. Integrated within the 7100 Series digital radio test set, the new fading simulator option offers RF engineers an inexpensive and reliable baseband tool for signal fading profiling, a requirement for LTE (Long Term Evolution) certification.

“Until now, testing and simulating LTE fading profiles meant buying and cabling together two separate test instruments. By integrating the LTE fading simulator into the 7100 Series, Aeroflex will save customers tens of thousands of euros in purchasing additional test equipment and circumvent potential calibration errors that cause faulty test results. In addition, confidence is boosted by the repeatability of the fading profiles,” said Phil Medd, product manager, Aeroflex Test Solutions.
