" We currently support NR test models (NR-TM) and 5G NR
uplink, downlink fixed reference channels (FRC) for 5G,
and we are working on expanding these to fully flexible
waveforms, " Wang said. " You can distort the waveform by
adding RF impairments such as additive white gaussian
noise (AWGN), phase offset, frequency offset, DC offset, IQ
imbalance, and memoryless cubic nonlinearity. For RF engineers who like to interact with the instrument, they can have a
similar experience visualizing the waveform in the constellation
diagram, spectrum analyzer, OFDM grid, and time scope plots
and export the waveform to different file formats. "
The second key capability-connectivity to software-defined
radio (SDR) hardware and RF instruments-allows test engineers
to use MATLAB and Simulink to perform over-the-air tests to
validate 5G designs in simulation, in the lab, or in the field under
real-world conditions, according to Wang. " The test benches, signal generators, scopes, and measurements used at the simulation
stage can be reused for hardware testing, " he said. " This approach
eliminates the need to re-create tests in a different software environment, and reduces test development time and errors. "
