5G NR Carrier Acceptance Tests

Conformance approval is one of the most important steps to bringing mobile devices to the market. With the introduction of 5G NR, the sheer number of test cases grows exponentially due the huge number of supported band combinations, deployment options and evolving standards. Major 5G operators ask for additional carrier acceptance tests to ensure cellular devices function properly on their networks. With an R&S®CMX500 based test system, Rohde & Schwarz supports carrier acceptance tests like PQA, NPT and LBS in 5G FR2. In all applications, the extremely compact R&S®ATS800R CATR chamber is used for the required over-the-air measurements.
