Slow Clock Test Setup (Digital Baseband, Fading)

TheMD8430AsupportsdigitalbasebandI/Oasstandardfunctions.Using the baseband interface offers high-reproducibility coding/decodingtestsfreefromtheRFsection,supportingstableevaluation of LTE chipset baseband performance.

Moreover, LTE coding/decoding tests are supported because the baseband chip can be evaluated using a slower clock than the clock frequency.AndconnectingthesecondMD8430Afadingfunctiontothe digital baseband interface supports slow clock evaluations in a fadingenvironment,whicharedifficulttoperformwithanRFfading simulator.

Optimized Hardware InvestmentThe MD8430A supports to design for early chipset and mobile UE, function tests, and performance tests ranging from carrier acceptance tests to protocol conformance tests as well as retrofit upgrades between models allows developers to tailor their hardware investment to current needs with future flexible upgrade options.

TheProtocolConformanceTestToolkit(PCT)withMD8430AandGCF/PTCRBapprovedTTCNtestpackageprovideanoptimumenvironmentforLTEprotocolconformancetesting.Hence,aSingleHardwarePlatformthatextendsitsusagefromPlatformdevelopmenttoConformanceTestingandOperatorAcceptanceTest.

Instant Firmware SwitchingBecause the MD8430A saves up to ten firmware versions, the right firmware is selected easily at startup. There is no need to install/uninstall firmware when executing a test case that determines the firmware version.

Powerful Automated TestingThe RTD software supporting the UE control interface makes it easy tosetupautomatedtestsystems.Furthermore,multipletestcasescan be executed continuously and test reports generated automatically, and many functions, including repeat testing under different conditions with multiple settings, can be automated, offering carriers, etc., an ideal turnkey solution for acceptance testing.

Easy Test Case MaintenanceTest cases created by the RTD software can be updated easily when new3GPPstandardevolves,reducingtheneedforre-editing.Inaddition, guaranteed test case compatibility even when the MD8430A firmware version is changed removes the need to recompile, etc., resulting in greatly reduced costs for maintaining test cases to support regression testing when rolling out new terminalsandperformingpre-IOTtoassurecompatibilitywithnetworkequipmentworldwide.
