Beyond PTCRB RF 3CA certification following 3GPP specifications, Keysight is also in a leadership position in 3CA with carrier-specific supplementary RF test packages for a major U.S. carrier and additionally provides a tool for design and verification. This demonstrates that Keysight is providing a complete solution that addresses leading-edge market requirements for 3CA.

“Keysight is fully committed to providing comprehensive LTE-Advanced conformance test capabilities,” said Garrett Lees, senior director of Keysight´s Operator and Test Lab Solutions group. “Working with key network operators has allowed us to go beyond the 3GPP specifications and offer a complete solution that covers design and verification, conformance and carrier acceptance test.”

The integration of the E7515A UXM wireless test set in the T4010S test system enables extensive coverage of 3GPP test cases in a conformance benchtop solution. This allows the T4010S to become a fully scalable and compact test system that provides the complete set of Rel. 8 to Rel. 13 versions of 3GPP 36.521-1 (TX, RX, and Performance), 36.521-3 (Radio Resource Management – RRM) and carrier-specific supplementary RF test packages.
