Rohde & Schwarz first to achieve TPAC for NTN NB-IoT RF and RRM conformance test casesAt the recent Conformance Agreement Group (CAG) meeting #78 of the Global Certification Forum (GCF), Rohde & Schwarz verified NTN NB-IoT test cases for radio frequency (RF) and radio resource management (RRM), successfully meeting all test platform approval criteria (TPAC). The R&S TS-RRM and R&S TS8980 test platforms were approved for every type of NTN NB-IoT test (RF, Demod and RRM), making Rohde & Schwarz the only company to have activated both NTN NB-IoT radio frequency (RF) and radio resource management (RRM) work items (WI) in the GCF.

Rohde & Schwarz validates first 5G RRM FR2 conformance tests with the R&S TS-RRM-NR test systemThe Global Certification Forum (GCF) has approved the first two radio ressource management (RRM) conformance test cases for 5G FR2 frequencies, implemented on the R&S TS-RRM-NR 5G RRM conformance test system from Rohde & Schwarz. The test cases have been validated in seven FR2 and LTE band combinations. With this success, Rohde & Schwarz is leading the way in validated test cases for the technically challenging FR2 mmWave frequency bands.

Rohde & Schwarz paves way for mandatory mobile device RRM certification from GCF for 5G NR FR2 frequenciesThe R&S TS-RRM-NR 5G conformance test system from Rohde & Schwarz is the first test platform to achieve test platform approval criteria (TPAC) from the GCF certification organization for 5G radio resource management (RRM) at FR2 frequencies. As a consequence, the first RRM conformance FR2 work items have reached “active” status, making them mandatory for mobile device certification. RRM FR2 test cases with one and two angles of arrival (1xAoA and 2xAoA) have been validated in multiple FR2 EN-DC band combinations.

Rohde & Schwarz validates first 5G RRM FR2 2xAoA conformance tests with the R&S TS-RRM-NR test systemThe PTCRB certification organization has approved the first radio ressource management (RRM) conformance test cases for FR2 with two angles of arrival (2xAoA), using the R&S TS-RRM-NR 5G RRM conformance test system from Rohde & Schwarz. The test cases have been validated in multiple FR2 EN-DC band combinations, using the new R&S ATS1800M CATR based multi-AoA anechoic chamber.

Rohde & Schwarz presents compact CATR based multireflector setup for RRM testing of 5G NR mmWave devicesWith the R&S ATS1800M, Rohde & Schwarz introduces an extension to the well-established R&S ATS1800C, a compact antenna test range (CATR) based 5G NR mmWave test chamber for over-the-air (OTA) testing. By adding two side chambers, the existing test chamber turns into the only single-system solution that enables full 3GPP-specified conformance testing of a 5G NR mmWave device for radio resource management (RRM), including multiple angles of arrival (AoA).
Multi CATR, OTA, RRM, 2AoA, FR2, 5G NR, ATS1800C, ATS1800M R&S®ATS1800M is a multi CATR exten.sion to the well known and establishedR&S® ATS1800C compact and protable CATR solution.
Cellular device testing One part of 5G certification testing is taking care of Radio Resource Management, called RRM. In FR2 all the tests have to be done over the air. A special setup of testing is given in the 3GPP specification where the right behaviour of a device under tests is checked while receiving the signals from the base station under different angels.
