•Application Note: LTE Advanced Signal Generation And Analysis
LTE (Long Term Evolution) standardization within the 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project) has come to a mature state by now where changes in the specification are limited to corrections and bug fixes. LTE mobile communication systems are to be deployed from 2010 onwards.
This can be achieved with so-called carrier aggregation, where multiple LTE "component carriers" are aggregated on the physical layer to provide the necessary bandwidth.
Details of the LTE-Advanced component carriers are not yet specified. Expected modifications are not assumed to have major influence on LTE-Advanced component tests such as power amplifier tests. With the capability to generate and analyze multiple LTE release 8 component carriers, measurements performed today are transferable to later real LTE-Advanced systems.
This Application Note describes LTE-Advanced signal generation with spectrum aggregation in numerous configurations using one or more Vector Signal Generators R&S SMU200A or R&S SMBV100A. Various examples illustrate how to analyze these signals using the Vector Signal Analyzer R&S FSQ, R&S FSG or R&S FSV.
