Scalable tools for complete 5G and ORAN base station performance testing

Keysight cellular base station solutions validate 5G NR, LTE, and ORAN gNB performance through development. They emulate realistic radio environments with fading, beamforming, and load testing across sub-6 GHz (FR1), mmWave (FR2), and non-terrestrial networks. Offering high-performance transceivers with scalable RF channels, wide bandwidth, and real-time fading. Software enables automated KPI testing, MIMO/Massive MIMO channel modeling, and OTA validation. For lab and production, solutions support remote heads, cloud control, and standards-aligned automation (open APIs). Request a quote for one of our popular configurations today. Need help selecting?

Highlights

Massive MIMO (mMIMO) provides increased cell capacity for 5G and LTE. Using the right tools enables quick performance optimization and validation of network-device interoperability. Integration and optimization of O-RAN RU and DU elements for optimal operation are essential for multi-vendor network end-to-end performance.

  • With the advanced massive MIMO solution, all antenna array ports are sampled simultaneously allowing realistic modeling of spatial separation between multiple mobile devices for multi-user MIMO 3D beamform validation. You can verify performance from 16x16bi to 64x16bi for complete base station multi-user MIMO TM9 UE feedback and uplink SRS-based massive MIMO scheduler/beamformer testing.
  • Massive MIMO testing with an external RF analog combiner is an optimized solution for cost-effective multi-user, multi-RAT, and handover mobility focused UE and base station testing. It supports the antenna array column/row combination and virtual probe/key-hole-channel channel emulation configurations.
  • The S8803A toolset makes comprehensive testing easy for the user by offering ready-made and verified test case packages and tools for custom test creation.
  • The S8803A toolset enables you to emulate up- and downlink massive MIMO channels in real-time and is extendable to:
  • Measure all downlink beams simultaneously with an integrated multi-port signal analyzer
  • Test all uplink beams with an integrated multi-port signal generator
  • Analyze and debug up- and downlink signaling with an integrated RF sniffer
  • Test key performance indicators, such as single- and multi-user data throughput in an instant
  • Support creating RF Field-to-Lab test cases
