Here we use two FE44S external frontends to test a 5G FR2 signal at 28 GHz. Signal analysis is performed by the R&S VSE software running directly on the RTP oscilloscope. The RTP oscilloscope can use up to 4 external frontends to acquire the respective IF signals for further analysis. Here we use two FE44S external frontends to test a 5G FR2 signal at 28 GHz.
The R&S TSME6 network scanner together with the R&S ROMES software is a powerful solution to carry out 5G NR network measurements in FR1 and with additional hardware in FR2.
The real technical challenge, however, comes with 5G mmWave (FR2), which opens up a new level of complexity in device development. mmWave frequencies imply measurement challenges that call for new testing approaches.

Rohde & Schwarz and Samsung pave the way for adoption of secure ranging test cases defined by the FiRa ConsortiumRohde & Schwarz and Samsung have collaborated to verify secure ranging test cases for the ultra-wideband (UWB) PHY layer and assess the secure receiver characteristics of devices based on FiRa specifications. There are new test cases specified in the FiRa 2.0 Technical Specifications, which covers the prevention of physical layer attacks on secure ranging applications based on UWB technology. These test cases were verified with the R&S CMP200 radio communication tester from Rohde & Schwarz on Samsung’s latest UWB chipset.
This article describes a mobile network testing approach for 5G new radio (NR) using a passive scanner, which measures synchronization signal (SS)/physical broadcast channel (PBCH) blocks, or SSBs, broadcast from 5G NR base stations.
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. The big challenge for a test solution is to provide a big quiet zone of testing which can be supported by the R&S®ATS1800M.

Comprehensive test solutions guide for production and R&D
Small cell is a compact base station with smaller form factor and lower transmission power in comparison to the conventional macro base station. It covers relatively small area and serves less users. Usually, small cell can be integrated into the existing mobile network. By the evolution of radio access technology, the role of small cell has been changing through the evolution path. In the 2G/3G time, its role was to provide coverage in corner cases. Later during LTE, networks are not just providing coverage but capacity too. Small cells were then used to provide the addition capacity where required without adding additional spectrum. Now in 5G era, network operators use densification as an important strategy to provide seamless 5G services which demand coverage, capacity and performance too. With use cases requiring the 5G millimeter wave (mmW) rollouts, it makes sense to use small cells for densification due to the propagation characteristics of mmW.In this application note, we will shed light on the testing aspects of a small cell throughout the product life cycle with particular focus on the production test solution for the small cell device under test (DUT) in FR2 (frequency range 2, mmW frequency band) in Over the Air (OTA) environment for option 6 split based on radio communication tester R&S®CMP200 and OTA chamber R&S®CMQ200. The document is complemented with more insights into test solutions used in typical R&D test applications towards the second half of the application note.
