Operators need to perform live testing of 5G NR networks to ensure network coverage and QoE for customers. Known as Drive Testing, test User Equipment (UE) is used for active measurement of traffic channel beams, Quality of Service (QoS), QoE, mobility and LTE interoperability. In the field, beamforming introduces a new testing methodology using scanning receivers for Synchronization Signal Block (SSB) reference beam coverage measurements.

The co-existence of 4G signals with 5G services, including mmWave, creates interference and handoff issues that require accurate analysis and characterization. Base station analyzers augmented to analyze the spectrum and interference of 5G signals in the mmWave and other key instruments help address these challenges. Software to monitor network performance and verify Service Level Agreements also simplifies 5G activations, performance monitoring and troubleshooting tests. Speak to our experts to learn more.

Governmental agencies and international bodies have set limits on human exposure to RF energy to ensure the safety of anyone working near wireless antennas. Antenna manufacturers need to verify the strength of electromagnetic fields (EMF) from 5G antennas using spectrum analyzers during pre-deployment. Once deployed, carriers run frequency-selective or code-selective EMF measurements using portable equipment to verify that the site’s EMF emissions meet the regulatory requirements.
