ETS-Lindgren announced the availability of the Model AMS-8700 RF Environment Simulator, a turnkey MIMO OTA test system that allows repeatable measurement of radiated performance of wireless devices in a simulated multi-path environment. The simulated RF environment is ideal for the evaluation of downlink MIMO performance of emerging wireless technologies such as LTE, WiMAX, IEEE 802.11n, and Wi-Fi, as well as receive diversity performance of existing wireless technologies. Using patent-pending technology, the system consists of a dual polarized antenna array in an absorber-lined fully anechoic chamber connected to technology-specific communication test equipment through a spatial channel emulator. The Model AMS-8700 provides a highly reliable, simple solution to a complex test allowing wireless device manufacturers to easily verify the performance of their products and be confident when a product goes to market. This solution offers engineers the flexibility to test different product designs in house to quickly evaluate tradeoffs in cost versus performance of a wireless device.Other key features of Model AMS-8700 include the capability of supporting single cluster, multiple cluster, and uniform models as well as variable angles of arrival, Doppler, and delay spreads to emulate the scattering effect of fixed and moving objects within the simulated environment. A variety of data throughput based performance metrics can be evaluated using the EMQ-108 MIMO Test Suite option with ETS-Lindgren’s popular EMQuest EMQ-100 Antenna Measurement Software.
