The Spirent SR5500M Wireless Channel Emulator is designed to accurately replicate the intricate characteristics of wideband wireless channels. With its advanced features, including time-varying multipath delay spread, fading, and channel loss emulation, the SR5500M provides a programmable and repeatable platform for comprehensive receiver performance characterization. By precisely emulating real-world deployment conditions using powerful digital signal processing techniques, this emulator allows for the early identification and isolation of performance issues during the development and design verification cycle.
The SR5500M boasts a high-performance, all-digital signal processing engine that presents a realistic set of radio channel conditions, even for the most complex radio transmission technologies. Thanks to its Dynamic Environment Emulation (DEE) capability, which offers dynamic control over fading parameters, this emulator can replicate real-world fading scenarios with exceptional accuracy. With its high fidelity channel and extended simulation repetition rates, the SR5500M ensures reliable and precise performance evaluation. When it comes to analyzing modern radio transmission schemes, a comprehensive channel simulator that accurately emulates radio channel characteristics is crucial. Equally important is the need for minimal unwanted parasitic simulation effects that could distort test results.
Featuring an intuitive Graphical User Interface (GUI), the SR5500M empowers users to select channel models from an extensive library of predefined industry-standard options or create custom configurations using the Channel Model Editor. Once the desired channel model is configured, the Channel Model Player offers granular control over playback, enabling users to play, pause, and stop simulations as needed. Moreover, any modifications to the channel model can be instantly implemented using the SR5500M's real-time fading sequence generation, eliminating the delays associated with pre-calculating fading sequences commonly encountered with other fading simulators.
Equipped with 24 independent multi-paths in its standard configuration, the SR5500M surpasses the minimum performance requirements of 3G technologies, such as CDMA2000 and WCDMA, as well as evolving Wireless LAN standards. Its ability to program time-varying channel conditions is particularly critical for accurately assessing the overall performance of high-speed transmission technologies employing adaptive modulation and coding schemes. With its versatility in Handset and Base Station test applications, the SR5500M serves as an invaluable tool throughout the product realization cycle.
