RX/TX test system in line with WiMAX™
Key Facts
  • R&S®TS8970 was developed in response to a request for proposals from the WiMAX Forum®
  • Frequency range from 2 GHz to 6 GHz or optionally from 400 MHz to 6 GHz, prepared for future Mobile WiMAX™ profiles in the 700 MHz and 1.8 GHz band classes
  • BS and MS test cases can be run using the same system
  • Unsurpassed measurement accuracy and highly detailed result reports
  • Minimization of downtime owing to two-year calibration interval1) for the system and its components
1) Does not apply in ISO 17025-certified environments (one-year interval).
Brief Description The R&S®TS8970 is the reference tool of choice for the RF characterization of Mobile WiMAX™ products. Many of the WiMAX Forum® Designated Certification Labs (WFDCL) successfully rely on the R&S®TS8970 in their certification work. The test system has also become a lab favorite in the precertification of products at manufacturers of WiMAX™ infrastructure and mobile stations. Owing to the complexity of the simulation of MIMO channels, the R&S®TS8970 is also frequently used in the WiMAX™ R&D lab. The R&S®TS8970 enables users to test a Mobile WiMAX™ base station (BS) or a Mobile WiMAX™ mobile station (MS) and is available as a combined system with BS/MS switchover. The test cases offered reflect the current version of the WiMAX Forum® Mobile WiMAX™ Radio Conformance Test (MRCT) specification.

  • Long calibration intervals and built-in RFC routines maximize uptime and contribute to very high accuracy A full 12 months is the recommended calibration interval for the R&S®TS8970. However, every component in the test system is specified for a two-year or longer calibration cycle. This permits many R&S®TS8970 users1) to determine the optimum calibration period based on individual requirements. The ultimate customer benefit of this long calibration interval is an absolute minimum in downtime. 1) Does not apply in ISO 17025-certified environments (one-year interval).
