Rohde & Schwarz and EMITE are proud to announce that the new Wideband Radio Communication Tester setup R&S CMWflexx has been successfully used in combination to the EMITE E500 Reverberation Chamber and a channel emulator to test up to 4CC LTE-A FDD CA with 2x2 MIMO on each carrier and more realistic isotropic Urban-Macro (UMA) fading profiles. The tests were performed for a leading US carrier.
"We are extremely happy to be the first ones to integrate the R&S CMWflexx in a MIMO OTA test system for up to 4CC LTE-A FDD Carrier Aggregation (CA) MIMO OTA with 2x2 MIMO on each carrier component and more realistic UMA fading for all carrier components. This again confirms the leading role of EMITE worldwide regarding MIMO OTA Reverberation Chamber-based test systems”, said David Sanchez-Hernandez, CEO and co-founder of EMITE.
The R&S CMWflexx has been especially designed for testing LTE-A with a high number of component carriers. It is the latest addition to the R&S CMW500, the universal tester for testing the air interface of wireless devices. The instrument can be used in all phases of product development and production and supports all common cellular and non-cellular wireless technologies.

EMITE’s unique multicavity mode-stirred source-stirred reverberation chamber solutions (MSRC) provide for variety of fading scenarios at a fraction of the cost of alternative anechoic chamber-based test solutions. Along with conventional uniform, isotropic Rayleigh and more complex SCME-based fading profiles for MIMO OTA testing, the EMITE solutions are the only ones also offering other standardized fading profiles using the patented Sample SelectionÒ technique, something unheard of in the wireless arena until now.
