Eleven of the most popular applications are now available for use with Keysight's new M9393A PXIe performance VSA and the M9391A PXI VSA. When you combine the raw hardware speeds of the PXI VSAs and the X-Series measurement applications for modular instruments, you can test more products in less time, while ensuring measurement continuity from design to manufacturing. The LTE/LTE-Advanced FDD and TDD measurement applications transform the PXI VSAs into 3GPP LTE/LTEAdvanced standard-based RF transmitter testers. The applications provide fast, one-button RF conformance measurements to help you design, evaluate, and manufacture your LTE and LTE-Advanced base stations (eNB) and user equipment (UE). The measurement applications closely follow the 3GPP standard, allowing you to stay on the leading edge of your design and manufacturing challenges. Figure 1. LTE downlink modulation analysis measurement showing constellation, detected allocation, frame summary, and error summary information. Measurements are color-coded based on channel type for ease of troubleshooting. Proven algorithms and a common user interface across the X-Series analyzers and modular PXI VSAs create a consistent measurement framework for signal analysis that ensures repeatable results and measurement integrity so you can leverage your test system software through all phases of product development. The LTE/LTE-Advanced measurement applications are two in a common library of several measurement applications. You can further extend your test assets by utilizing up to four PXI VSAs with one software license. Keysight's X-Series applications for modular instruments also include a unique "Resource Manager" that provides direct access to PXI VSA hardware drivers for the fastest power and spectrum-based measurements, while simultaneously using the X-Series applications for fast modulation quality measurements and the 89600 VSA software for fast spectrum measurements. Figure 2. Resource manager included with all X-Series measurement applications for modular instruments. 2 LTE/LTE-Advanced FDD and TDD Overview LTE is the long term evolution of 3GPP’s universal mobile telephone system (UMTS). The aim of LTE is to provide a new radio access technology focused on packet-switched data only. Multiple requirements are set to achieve increased downlink and uplink peak data rates, scalable channel bandwidths, spectral efficiency improvements, control/user-plane latency, and co-existence with legacy standards while evolving towards an all-IP network. LTE accommodates both paired spectrum for frequency division duplex (FDD) and unpaired spectrum for time division duplex (TDD) operation. There is a high degree of commonality between FDD and TDD modes. These two modes are coordinated in the sense that they both share the same underlying framework including radio access schemes orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) for the downlink, and single-carrier frequency division multiple access (SC-FDMA) for the uplink. Both modes share a single radio-access specification, equally applicable to paired and unpaired spectrum. There are some significant differences in specifications between FDD and TDD, most notably on the physical layer in the frame structure. There are few differences on the higher layers. LTE-Advanced is not a new technology, instead it is an evolution step in the continuing development of LTE. It was initially specified as part of Release 10 of the 3GPP standard with continued evolution with additional features in Release 11 and more upcoming features in Release 12 and beyond. The three key LTE-Advanced technologies that are essential for meeting the ITU 4G requirements are: carrier aggregation, enhanced uplink multiple access, and enhanced multiple antenna transmission. Carrier aggregation is one of the key features of LTE-Advanced and the earliest deployed technologies of LTE-Advanced. It allows two or more (up to 5) component carriers to be aggregated in both contiguous and non-contiguous configurations in order to support up to 100 MHz transmission bandwidth. Table 1. Physical layer comparisons of LTE and LTE-Advanced FDD/TDD LTE FDD (3GPP Rel 8/9) LTE TDD (3GPP Rel 8/9) LTE-Advanced FDD (3GPP Rel 10/11) LTE-Advanced TDD (3GPP Rel 10/11) Radio access mode FDD TDD FDD TDD Radio frame length 10 ms (20 slots, 10 sub-frames) Transmission scheme Downlink: OFDMA Uplink: SC-FDMA Downlink: OFDMA Uplink: SC-FDMA, clustered SC-FDMA Channel bandwidth (BW) Maximum: 20 MHz 1.4 MHz, 3 MHz, 5 MHz, 10 MHz, 15 MHz, 20 MHz Maximum: 100 MHz with carrier aggregation; BW per component carrier (CC): 1.4 MHz, 3 MHz, 5 MHz, 10 MHz, 15 MHz, 20 MHz Data type Packet switched for both voice and data, no circuit switched Data modulation Downlink: QPSK, 16QAM, 64 QAM Uplink: QPSK, 16 QAM; 64 QAM for UE category 5 only Downlink: QPSK, 16QAM, 64 QAM Uplink: QPSK, 16 QAM; 64 QAM for UE categories 5, 7, and 8 only Peak data rate Downlink – 300 Mbps Uplink – 75 Mbps Downlink – 1 Gbps Uplink – 500 Mbps MIMO technology Downlink: Up to 4x4 spatial multiplexing; transmit diversity; multi-user (MU) MIMO; beamforming Uplink: MU-MIMO - more than one UE transmit in the same time-frequency resource Downlink: Up to 8x8 spatial multiplexing; transmit diversity; MU-MIMO; beamforming Uplink: Up to 4x4 spatial multiplexing for data (PUSCH); transmit diversity for control (PUCCH); MU-MIMO 3 RF Transmitter Tests With the LTE/LTE-Advanced FDD and TDD measurement applications, you can perform RF transmitter measurements on eNB and UE devices in time, frequency, and modulation domains. Measurement setups are simplified with automatic detection of downlink channels and signals. For eNB conformance testing, measurement is simplified by recalling E-TM presets according to 3GPP TS 36.141 specification. In addition, the measurement applications allow you to test beyond physical layer by using the transport layer decoding functionality. Troubleshoot transport layer problems and verify the channel encoding is correct by accessing data at different points in the receiver chain such as demapped, deinterleaved, descrambled, deratematched, and decoded data. For unwanted emissions, 3GPP Release 11 adds LTEAdvanced RF conformance requirements for intra-band, non-contiguous carrier aggregation because the spectrum in the sub-block gap can be deployed by another service provider, perhaps using a different technology. These new RF requirements are cumulative adjacent channel leakage power (CACLR), to measure the contributions from carriers on both sides of the sub-block gap, and cumulative spectrum emissions mask (SEM) measurement where a new special limit mask is defined for unwanted emissions within a sub-block gap calculated as the cumulative sum of contribution from each sub-block. The LTE-Advanced embedded measurement application provides limits for both CACLR and SEM in non-contiguous carrier aggregation. For LTE-Advanced demodulation measurements, such as EVM and frequency error, the measurement application uses an automatic sequencing function, instead of a single wideband capture of the multi-carrier signal, eliminating the need for the wide analysis bandwidth option on the signal analyzer and thereby reducing the overall test equipment cost. The measured results of up to 5 CCs for LTE-Advanced can be viewed side-by-side and represented in multiple domains such as resource block, sub-carrier, slot, or symbol. Graphical displays with color coding and marker coupling allows you to search for problems faster and troubleshoot the found problems quicker. For manufacturing, “conformance EVM” measurement provides significant speed improvement over the traditional EVM measurement. Choosing between X-Series embedded applications and 89600 VSA software X-Series measurement applications provide format-specific, one-button measurements for X-Series analyzers and modular PXI VSAs. With fast measurement speed, SCPI programmability, pass/fail testing and simplicity of operation, these applications are ideally suited for design verification and manufacturing. The 89600 VSA is the industry-leading measurement software for evaluating and troubleshooting signals for R&D and design validation. Supporting numerous measurement platforms and multiple measurement channels, the 89600 VSA provides flexibility and sophisticated measurements tools essential to find and fix signal problems. Recent enhancements for the modular PXI VSA platforms (89601B-SSA) provide fast spectrum measurements with benchtop analyzer SCPI programming compatibility. www.keysight.com/find/89600_vsa 4 Standard-Based RF Transmitter Tests The RF transmitter conformance test requirements for LTE/LTE-Advanced FDD and TDD are defined in 3GPP 36.141 (eNB) and 36.521-1 (UE) of the 3GPP standard. Table 2 shows the required eNB RF transmitter tests along with the corresponding measurements available in the X-Series and 89600 LTE/LTE-Advanced applications. Table 3 shows similar information for UE transmitter tests. Table 2.

All of the measurements are available for single carrier (LTE) or multiple-carrier LTE-Advanced with up to 5 component carriers. M9080B/ M9082B option 1FP is LTE, option 2FP is LTE-Advanced. These are pre-demodulation channel power measurements. Channel power reading is also available after demodulation under “Error Summary” trace. For M9080B/M9082B, these measurements are available under “Error Summary” trace in Mod Analysis as well as under “Conformance EVM” measurement. For 89600, they are available under “Error Summary” trace. For LTE-Advanced, this measurement is supported for contiguous carrier aggregation and requires analysis bandwidth on PXI VSA wide enough to cover the aggregated bandwidth. “MIMO Summary”/”MIMO Info Table” traces are used to measure TAE for MIMO and Tx diversity signals. For carrier aggregation, time offset reading under “Error Summary” trace is used for M9080B/M9082B and “Cross-carrier Summary” trace is used for 89600 VSA Version 18 or higher. For uplink, LTE-Advanced added transmitter RF conformance test for carrier aggregation (CA) and uplink MIMO (UL-MIMO) as shown in Table 3. Even though demodulation of UL-MIMO spatial multiplexing is not supported in the M9080B and M9082B embedded applications, the transmitter conformance test for UL-MIMO only requires testing the DUT at each antenna port using UL RMC (same as LTE), so the applications can also be used for UL-MIMO RF conformance test. 5 Table 3.
