R&S®TS9970 RF Performance Test System
RF parameter measurements on communication equipment
Key Facts
Test System R&S® TS9970 has been designed for measuring main RF parameters of wireless communication equipment under realistic operating conditions. In addition to the spatial radiation characteristic of the communication antenna, receiver parameters such as signal-to-noise ratio and bit error rate as a function of EUT orientation can be determined. R&S® TS9970 can be effectively used both in design and type approval testing.
The following measurements can be performed with R&S® TS9970:
- Measurement of the directivity of equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) or effective radiated power (ERP)
- Determination of the receive characteristics of the EUT as a function of its positioning by measuring the quality of the radio link. Typical quality parameters of modern radio systems are used for quality assessment (eg BER, RXQUAL, RXLEV, etc)
Alternatively, the following measurements can be carried out:
- Bit error rate (or RXQUAL, RX-LEV, etc) with fixed signal level
- Transmit power required to achieve the defined bit error rate (or RXQUAL, RXLEV, etc)
