LTE/LTE-Advanced Mobile broadband for the next decadeLong term evolution (LTE) is turning UMTS into a high-perfor-mance, cellular broadband system for the future that will ensure subscribers fast and smooth access to the mobile Internet. Now that LTE is commercially available, work has begun on LTE-Advanced, the next evolutionary step, in order to meet future requirements.

An essential feature of LTE is the flexible bandwidth alloca-tion up to 20 MHz. New access methods on the air inter-face provide maximum spectral efficiency. The LTE down-link is based on orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA). The LTE uplink implements single car-rier frequency division multiple access (SC-FDMA), which can be considered a precoded OFDM technique. Efficient multiple input multiple output (MIMO) antenna technology ensures the high data rates required for LTE. The protocol architecture of LTE has also been optimized for fast packet-oriented operation.

Rohde & Schwarz was the first supplier on the market to offer LTE test solutions. The company‘s powerful signal generators and signal and spectrum analyzers can thor-oughly test transmitters and receivers of LTE-capable base stations and wireless devices as well as perform measure-ments on components and power amplifiers. A special highlight is the company‘s unique portfolio of test solu-tions for MIMO. Rohde & Schwarz offers a complete, one-box test solution for 2×2 MIMO receiver tests, including channel simulation.

From RF to end-to-end data, the powerful communications test solution from Rohde & Schwarz supports and tests all protocol layers for fully testing the air interface of wireless devices. Based on a scalable platform, the tester can be adapted to cover any test application need in all phases of development, verification and production.

Scalable RF test systems offer advanced terminal test solu-tions from R & D up to conformance in line with the require-ments of global certification bodies. Rohde & Schwarz also supports LTE field trials and network deployment, for ex-ample with the R&S®ROMES drive test solution integrating both the R&S®TSMW radio network analyzer and commer-cially available LTE user devices.

First LTE-Advanced features are already implemented in the Rohde & Schwarz product portfolio. The modular and
