TAS5600C In Stock

The TAS5600C by Spirent is a universal interface emulator designed specifically for receiver testing. This emulator effectively addresses critical challenges encountered during receiver test setups, including signal-to-noise ratio accuracy, output power accuracy, phase noise, adjacent channel leakage ratio (ACLR), interaction with the test set voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR), and repeatability across different test configurations and over time. By integrating the functionalities of two high-performance, low-phase noise signal generators, two arbitrary waveform generators, two real-time signal generators, a precision instrument-grade power meter, and high-accuracy RF attenuators across multiple RF channels, the TAS5600C supports diversity testing.

The TAS5600C’s powerful capabilities are consolidated into a single rack-mountable chassis, providing a compact and efficient solution. Notable features of this emulator include precise and repeatable carrier-to-noise (C/N) and carrier-to-interference (C/I) emulation, UMTS and CDMA2000 interferers tailored for specific applications, and the integration of multiple signal generators, attenuators, and measurement devices. The signal generation engine of the TAS5600C accommodates long data sequences, ensuring maximum confidence in test results. Additionally, its GSM modulated interferer is particularly well-suited for dual-mode test scenarios. With two independent RF channels dedicated to receiver diversity testing, this emulator maintains a signal path during the calibration cycle, resulting in expedited test execution.

By employing the TAS5600C in conjunction with the SR5500 RF channel emulator, comprehensive transmission media emulation can be achieved, facilitating thorough testing of both handset and base station receiver performance. This combination also satisfies all essential requirements for additive interference and multipath fading outlined in the UMTS and CDMA2000 specifications. The SR5500 channel emulator encompasses various channel propagation models necessary for modern receiver testing, including Rayleigh and Rician multipath fading, multipath delay spread, moving propagation, and birth-death propagation conditions. Integration of the SR5500 channel emulator with the TAS5600C creates a streamlined test setup suitable for comprehensive physical layer receiver testing.
