LTE Drive Test

R&S®ROMES and R&S®TSMW can be used for LTE-MIMO specific measurements in 4x2 and 2x2 MIMO Antenna Systems. It can capture the real-world scenario to validate the MIMO performance for FDD.

The measurements are based on the H-Channel Matrix that is calculated per cell and per Resource Block. That enables further drill-down so see issues like Interference, Multi-Path, Fading, Antenna Correlation and Noise in relation to their spectral position.

All the data can be exported into ASCII and XML. That enables 3rd party tools for Fading Emulation to use the R&S MIMO Drive Test solution to reproduce the MIMO channel in the lab.
