WiMAX Testing

WiMAX Functional Testing
To increase the accuracy of development test activities, you need to rely on industry leading functional test solutions. Anticipated availability of protocols, interfaces and complex test scenarios including simulation and emulation of the key network components gives you a competitive advantage and allows you to bring your products to market earlier and with higher reliability.

R3 and R6 simulation and emulation, in depth decoding of protocols, including R1 interface protocols are the applications you need to win the race to 4G


WiMAX Testing
To keep pace with more complex Mobile WiMAX design cycles, along with its rapid deployment schedules, you need to optimize your WiMAX testing. To be successful in these challenging circumstances, Tektronix offers a variety of WiMAX test solutions including specialized analysis software for your real-time spectrum analyzer, and protocol monitoring solutions for the Access Service Network (ASN).


WiMAX Performance Analysis and Troubleshooting
The biggest technical WiMAX testing challenges are related to the ASN, with the main focus on the base station (BS) and the RF technology. Tektronix network and service analysis solutions provide full visibility into labs and live network traffic through multi-interface traffic analysis tools which help you isolating root causes of Mobile WiMAX network and service problems faster and more effectively. The innovative approach implemented by Tektronix allows you to get direct access to R1 protocols and perform full and accurate decoding and troubleshooting combined with R3 and R6 interfaces monitoring and end-to-end correlation.

WiMAX NSA: Platform for Troubleshooting and Performance Analysis
The WiMAX NSA supports end-to-end traffic analysis by correlating protocol traces on the R1 interface, multiple MSS and on the R6 and R3 interfaces. The multi-interface call trace for Mobile WiMAX saves time and effort in troubleshooting because calls of individual MSS are isolated. Full data capture is guaranteed under the most severe load conditions. A key feature, Session Analyst, provides WiMAX control plane performance indicators to quickly identify network problems that can be studied with other tools, such as call trace. Intermittent or non-recurring problems can also be identified. Session Analyst includes IEEE802.16e MAC (Media Access Control) protocol counters and R6/R3 interface counters that display events on a time scale.

RSA3408A Real-Time Spectrum Analyzers
See the frequency and amplitude of your RF signal change over time in a single view. With only a single acquisition, the RSA3408A Real-Time Spectrum Analyzer (RTSA) captures a continuous time record of changing RF events and enables time-correlated analysis in the Frequency, Time, and Modulation domains. You get the functionality of a vector signal analyzer, a wide band spectrum analyzer, plus the unique trigger-capture-analyze capability of RTSA — in one, transportable package.
