•Application Note: LTE Base Station Tests According To TS 36.141
By Rohde & Schwarz GmbH & Co. KG
Long Term Evolution (LTE) or Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access (E-UTRA) as described by the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) is the next step in pushing third-generation (3G) systems from WCDMA over HSPA and HSPA+ to the future.
This Application Note describes solutions for generating and analyzing LTE signals using equipment from Rohde & Schwarz for Base Station (eNodeB) testing. The features that make the SMU vector signal generator and the FSP, FSV and the FSQ spectrum and signal analyzer highly suitable for this purpose are detailed.
Each measurement as described in the standard is shown, special implementation tips are provided, and typical measurement results are presented as instrument screenshots.
This Application Note covers receiver and transmitter tests in line with the following
standards:
Base Station conformance testing, 3GPP TS 36.141 Release 8,
V8.4.0
Additionally, a free-of-charge demonstration software program named "LTE BS Test" is included to show the necessary SCPI remote control commands and to run all LTE BS tests for demonstration and evaluation.
