Base station testing
Base station testing - new test challenges with the introduction of 5G Traditionally base stations have been verified by measuring their performance conductively at the antenna interface.
Thanks to the much faster, more reliable, and near-instant connections that come with the 5G, we now see a variety of innovative and comprehensive mobile wireless communication applications every day. Base stations must now pass new conformance tests to ensure they deliver on their promises.
Every 5G NR base station or UE manufacturer must pass all the necessary tests before releasing the products to market. Otherwise, the products do not have 3GPP-compliant recognition and are not usable for network deployment. We start with a quick overview of 3GPP base station conformance testing requirements.
Introduction: The following tests are generally performed during 5G measurements: Figure 1: Equipments available from Keysight Technologies for 5G measurements.

The N9032B PXA and N9042B UXA signal analyzers are by far the most advanced signal analysis products to fulfill the latest testing requirements for 5G NR base stations. These solutions perform up to 40% faster with the new CPU to help you quickly make computation-intensive measurements, such as demodulation and EVM.
