F8820A PROPSIM FS16 Radio Channel Emulator
Data Sheets
Scalable RF Channel Emulator for Diverse Use Cases
The PROPSIM FS16 emulates – in real-time – dynamic radio channels in between transmitters and receivers. The channel emulator cost-effectively supports uni- and bidirectional fading test configurations required in wireless testing across 5G, 4G, aerospace, and defense applications. The solutions support configurations from 2 up to 256 fading channels in a single unit and up to 1024 fading channels in a multi-unit configuration.
Keysight’s PROPSIM F64 RF channel emulator supports fading capacity needs that extend beyond these configurations. PROPSIM FS16, a compact and cost[1]effective choice for 5G NR MIMO and MIMO OTA fading testing in FR1 and FR2 frequency bands, integrates smoothly with Keysight’s network emulation solutions and mmWave over-the-air test solutions.
Definitions and Conditions
PROPSIM F64 will meet its specifications when
• The PROPSIM hardware is within its calibration cycle.
• The PROPSIM hardware has been stored at an ambient temperature within the allowed operating range for at least six (6) hours before being turned on; if it had previously been stored at a temperature range inside the allowed storage range, but outside the allowed operating range.
• The test set has been turned on for at least 60 minutes.
• No other application or 3rd party software is running simultaneously with PROPSIM running view on the PROPSIM integrated PC windows operating system.
Specifications
Specifications describe the performance parameters covered by the product warranty and are valid from 20 to 30 °C unless otherwise noted.
Typical
Typical describes additional product performance information that is not covered by the product warranty. It is performance beyond specifications that 95 percent of the units exhibit with a 95 percent confidence level. This data does not include measurement uncertainty, and is valid only at room temperature, 23 °C.
Nominal
Nominal values indicate expected performance or describe product performance that is useful in the application of the product but are not covered by the product warranty.
