Next generation mobile radio testing

The CMX500 radio communication tester is a future-proof 5G NR testing solution with an intuitive and flexible web-based user interface, R&S®CMsquares. Manual interactive operation and automatic sequence-controlled test protocols make R&S®CMsquares an ideal software solution with unique modules for all signaling use cases, ranging from R&D design stages to end-to-end application testing, production and conformance testing. A one-platform strategy for all 5G NR test equipment enables a unified test environment for signaling and non-signaling tests in all 5G device production stages.

Features & benefits

RF parametric testing (TX & RX)

Complete RF characterization with the CMX500 radio communication tester

High-performance data transmissions via an air interface are only possible with perfect transmit andreceive characteristics. In the 5G FR1 and FR2 frequency ranges, key RF transmitter measurements areneeded,such as modulation, quality, transmit power and spectral parameters, along with receivermeasurements such as the block error rate (BLER). 3GPP specifies extensive test cases for transmitterTX) and receiver (RX measurements in TS38.521 sections 6 and 7. The cases come preinstalled in theseauencer, where thev can be run, The CMX500 callbox function offers intuitive solutions for

▶IFlexible RF testing for development with R&SeCMsquares,

▶Fully automated conformance testing with R&S@CONTEST

▶3GPP test cases for SA and NSA modes

▶3GPP MIMO RX/TX measurements

▶Receiver performance measurements under fading conditions

▶Combined LTE-5G carrier aggregation measurements

▶Easy transfer to production with identical SCPl commands for the CMX and the CMP200 radiocommunication tester

Data throughput

Fast and easy application testing

The iPerf tool generates traffic that allows you to monitor data rates along the different layers to activelymeasure the maximum achievable 5G throughput. The integrated file transfer protocol (FTP) server alsoenables FTP upload and download throughput testing. The achievable data rate for a mobile device is abasic but important feature determined by interface capacity, The CMX500 has powerful IP analysis andprotocol statistic measurement functions to effectively monitor internet communications channels

Protocol testing

Full signaling protocol tests for R&D and conformance

The CX500 brings you a full set of tools for signaling tests throughout the complete mobile devicedevelopment lifecycle. The tester has radio access simulation functions and is ideal for signaling testsolutions in line with 3GPP standards.

Audio and video testing

High performance for the best user experience

The CMX500 radio communication tester also supports 5G audio and video testing applications. Thesolution comes with R&SeCisquares test software and all the necessary technologies for VoLTE andVoNR audio measurements in SA and NSA modes, as well as ViLTE and VNR measurements. Theintearated lMS server (lP multimedia subsystem) enables internal loopback and audio quality testingwith an external audio analyzer in lP forward mode.

5G end-to-end application testing

Simplify your test setup with an integrated application testing solution

The highest 5G architecture lavers are the application and |P lavers, which use an internet protocol forfunctions and essential KPls. The lavers are verified in the (e2e) application test. CX500 applicationtesting features
