The TAS5600 combines with Spirent’s
SR5500 RF Channel Emulator to provide
complete transmission media
emulation for testing handset and base
station receiver performance. The
combination of the TAS5600 and
SR5500 meets or exceeds all the critical
additive interference and multipath
fading requirements in both the UMTS
and CDMA2000 specifications.

The SR5500 channel simulator

provides all of the channel propagation
models required to test modern
receivers. Channel propagation models
such as Rayleigh and Rician multipath
fading, multipath delay spread, moving
propagation, and birth-death
propagation conditions are all
simulated in the SR5500. Combining
the SR5500 with the TAS5600 creates
a compact test setup for complete
physical layer receiver testing. With the

TAS5600 internal duplexer, external
hardware, such as combiners, splitters,
and circulators, is eliminated.

The TAS5600 combines with the

SR5500 to reduce test deployment and
execution time. It is no longer
necessary to interpret cryptic test
specifications and then calibrate an
unwieldy test setup. For UMTS testing,
Spirent offers UMTS-LAB – a
combination of the SR5500 along with
the TAS5600, including interferers
specific to testing UMTS UEs and Node
Bs. Spirent offers C2K-LAB for testing
to CDMA2000 standards. This
combination includes an SR5500 and
a TAS5600 including interferers specific
to CDMA2000 testing. For these
systems, Spirent provides UMTS and
CDMA2000 test configuration files with
our instruments and on our website for
use with the TAS5600 and SR5500.
