Field-to-Lab Testing Improves Wireless Designs

摘要

As the wireless industry introduces products and solutions based on 4G technologies such as LTE, LTE-Advanced, and WiMAX, field-to-lab solutions-particularly those with advanced automation capabilities-expand the scope of lab testing through the addition of real-world field conditions to channel modeling. By utilizing measurements of field data and playing it back through a wireless channel emulator, R&D and QA engineers and operators can test device performance against the dynamics of the field before deploying products in the real world.
