Wave-3G Multipath Fading Simulator

General Description:

The WAVE-3G™ simulates channel characteristics for wireless communication systems and standards including: Cellular and PCS 3GPP/W-CDMA/GSM, cdma200/CDG/IS-95, IMT-2000, Wireless LAN, Smart Antennas, Wireless Local Loop, Cordless Telephone and CATV/HDTV.  Applications include:  Mobile Phone Test, Base Station Test, Product Development, Laboratory Research, Design Verification Test, System Performance Evaluation, Type Approval Test and Quality Assurance.

The WAVE-3G™ Multipath Fading Simulator incorporates the latest technologies for simulating multipath fading and injecting Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) to test existing and next generation communication systems.

The WAVE-3G™ simulates a real-world environment for evaluating performance of communication system with confidence and ease.  The WAVE-3G™ is perfectly suited for system development and type approval testing.

Using state-of-the-art digital signal processor (DSP) technology, the WAVE-3G™ provides improved multipath fading simulation enabling more confidence in test results.  With its internal digital power meter and built-in digital noise source, a single instrument provides accurate and repetitive multipath fading and carrier-to-noise setting ability.
