Webinar: Prepare your spectrum for 5G deployment

The roll out of 5G NR will initiate a worldwide deployment in an unknown radio environment where unwanted transmitters can degrade end user QoE and in some cases cause outages of critical services. Prior to deployment, operators need to ensure the radio environment is free from interference by conducting spectral clearance and interference hunting. This webinar defines the particular challenges of 5G NR, highlights a robust approach to prepare the spectrum and shares real field data at 3.5 GHz and 28 GHz.

Webinar: Identifying and eliminating interference in mobile networks

Interference in the Radio Access Network is ubiquitous and becoming more critical as the deployment of the latest cellular standards bring increased sensitivity and subsequent degradation of network performance. This webinar examines the different sources of interference in mobile networks and considers their impact on capacity and subscriber Quality of Experience.

Video: Using FPH Gated Trigger Settings For a Live 5G Signal

For TDD networks, the downlink and uplink signal share the same frequency band. They are divided by time (using different time slots). When using an analyser in frequency mode, the downlink would mask any uplink activities, being the dominant signal. Hence it is quite difficult (if not impossible) to see any uplink signals and possible interference sources. With R&S®Spectrum Rider FPH or R&S®Cable Rider ZPH (v.12 model with ZPH-K1 option) gated trigger feature, it is possible to mask out the downlink signal and focus on the uplink activities.

Application card: 5G NR – interference hunting in the uplink of TDD networks

The deployment of 5G NR brings new performance and applications but it also is the first global adoption of TDD networks where the downlink and the uplink use the same frequency; meaning that downlink signals can mask interference.Download this Application Card to discover how to identify and locate 5G NR interference that can significantly decrease performance and reliability.

Application card: Interference hunting in smart factories

Smart factories rely heavily on wireless communications technology to automate production processes and increase productivity. RF interferer signals can be generated intentionally or unintentionally, appear at any time, be located anywhere on the production floor and can disrupt the production process or delay the output. This application card describes the process for determining the location of interferers so they can be eliminated.
