Radio Tester Adds Flexible Features

Created for the CMW500 wideband radio communication tester, an extensive package of new features promises maximum flexibility for designers in the mobile radio industry. At the protocol layer, the CMW500 can now perform 2x2 MIMO tests for HSPA+. In addition, it is capable of testing various procedures defined for EDGE Evolution, specifically those involving latency reduction and analysis of the downlink dual carrier. In this case, two carriers are employed to boost transmission capacity. Overall, the CMW500 is suitable for LTE FDD/TDD, Mobile WiMax, TD SCDMA, CDMA2000 (1xRTT and 1xEV-DO), WCDMA/HSPA, HSPA+, GSM, GPRS, EDGE, EDGE Evolution, GPS, Bluetooth, WLAN (a/b/g/n), DVB-T, T-DMB, MediaFLO, CMMB, and FM stereo testing.
