Measurement Capabilities
The facility supports over-the-air (OTA) testing of candidate 6G physical layer transmission and reception. Direct RF sampling (up to 110 GHz) is available.
Physical layer tests are available to obtain:
I and Q signal representations: time domain waveform, frequency spectrum, eye diagram, constellation
CCDF of the waveform (to measure PAPR)
RF power, SNR, ACLR
BER, BLER, EVM, data rate, and real-time throughput.
The RF chains can be configured as four SISO frequency bands, or two 2x2 MIMO frequency bands.
Other options may be available upon request.
In addition to software and algorithms, hardware-in-the-loop testing (system-level characterisation of an RF device under test) is also offered.
Usually we will perform the experiments on behalf of our clients.
Bespoke measurements are available, tailored to the needs of each user.
Please contact us to discuss your requirements, we will be happy to help.
