TEST INDUSTRY KEEPS
PACE WITH 5G ADVANCES
By Rick Nelson, Contributing Technical Editor
5 G evolution is proceeding apace,
with 3GPP Release 15 being deployed
worldwide, Release 16 being frozen, and
Release 17 under development. Whereas
Release 15 focused on enhanced Mobile
Broadband (eMBB), Release 16 addresses
use cases such as the industrial IoT and
C-V2X (cellular vehicle-to-everything).
Release 17 will add support for non-terrestrial networks (NTNs) and extend FR2
(Frequency Range 2) frequencies to 71
GHz or higher. Keeping up with the rapidly-advancing technology will require
flexible test equipment (extending from
lab instruments and semiconductor test
systems) as well as powerful software and
simulation tools.

An array of 5G products
Keysight Technologies recently debuted
several products that enable the development and rollout of 5G, according to Roger
Nichols, 5G program manager. These
products include advanced data analytics and machine-learning software for 5G
base-station testing, which " ...speeds the
manufacturing process by allowing our
customer...to use manufacturing data in a
new way to reduce test time and optimize
the test process, " Nichols said.

In addition, Keysight has introduced
a 5G device benchmarking solution that
allows customers to " grade " and troubleshoot devices based on an aggregated
set of KPIs. " This is a unique combination of our NEMO Outdoor, UXM 5G
Network Emulation, and Nemo 5G Device
Analytics software, " Nichols said.
Nichols cited several other solutions
Keysight has debuted, including O-RAN
Studio O-RAN distributed unit (O-DU)
emulation software, which enables
