The R&S TS8991 over-the-air (OTA) test system from Rohde & Schwarz has been approved by CTIA Certification for testing 5G A-GNSS antenna performance. According to Rohde & Schwarz, this makes the R&S TS8991 the first 5G FR1 A-GNSS OTA test solution to obtain CTIA Certification.
CTIA Certification is a global certification standard for the mobile wireless industry. Since 1991, its certification programmes have set the standard for devices, test labs, technicians, and repair facilities, playing a crucial role in advancing the wireless industry.
The R&S TS8991 test system from Rohde & Schwarz is a turnkey solution for meeting CTIA Certification OTA test requirements for 2G/3G A-GPS, 4G LTE A-GNSS and now also 5G A-GNSS. This system consists of the R&S CMX500 5G one-box signalling tester, the R&S SMBV100B satellite simulator and an anechoic wireless performance test chamber (WPTC).
It features a high degree of system integration and is easily upgradeable. Every component is controlled using the R&S CONTEST software, allowing for fully automated OTA measurements in compliance with CTIA Certification Test Plans.
