Solutions for 5G Wireless Testing
ETS-Lindgren has the solutions to meet your 5G New Radio testing needs, with dozens of 5G installations and over 10,000 commercial test and measurement projects worldwide.
As we move towards fifth generation (5G) wireless networks, the use of advanced adaptive antenna system (AAS) techniques
including beam forming, as well as the expected move to millimeter (mmWave) frequencies, will have an unprecedented impact on existing
RF testing of wireless devices. As the leader in RF, EMC, and OTA test and measurement solutions, ETS-Lindgren is uniquely qualified to
address the emerging 5G and mmWave test requirements. Not only do we have the proven technical depth expected of an industry leader, but
we also have the capability to work with our customers to provide the optimal test and measurement solution for their specific product application.
Since each wireless device manufacturer or carrier will have its own specific performance metrics, ETS-Lindgren offers customized solutions to meet these
unique requirements.Customization can include passive frequencies extensions to 60, 80, 90 or 100 GHz.
We have developed the following guide to assist you in selecting the appropriate standardized 5G product. If your requirements
cannot be met with one of the systems below, ETS-Lindgren can develop a solution for you. To further discuss your solution requirements, please
contact your local ETS-Lindgren representative.
5G Sub-6 GHz test solutions are now available! If you currently own a ETS-Lindgren OTA system and are exploring options for 5G, we offer a turnkey upgrade package for most models. This upgrade will enable support for 5GNR SISO non-stand alone [NSA] testing in the FR1 band. If you do not own an existing system and are looking to acquire a system with 5G sub 6 capabilities, you can view our OTA Test Systems here.
