The National 6G Radio Systems Facility (N6GRSF) provides a unique experimental platform for empirically researching and testing both current and future radio systems. Specifically, the N6GRSF realises test and measurement scales commensurate with the envisaged use of radio systems in 6G networks and beyond. The facility is based on a high-specification instrumented software-defined-radio architecture that enables both hardware and software in the loop development, testing and proof-of-concept.

The facility uses multiple, individually controlled over-the-air radio transmission paths spanning the frequency spectrum from sub-6GHz to 220GHz. A combination of deep waveform generation, wide signal bandwidths and the largest available digitisation bandwidths create an advanced experimental platform that, together with its comprehensive signal generation and analysis software, supports research, development and innovation across the entire radio system.
