Keysight validates first 5G NR 1024-QAM demodulation

Keysight Technologies has validated the industry's first 5G NR FR1 1024-QAM demodulation test cases, based on the 3GPP TS 38.521-4 test specification. These test cases, validated at the Conformance Agreement Group (CAG) #79 meeting of the Global Certification Forum (GCF) in July, are designed for use with Keysight's 5G network emulation conformance test platform (TP168). This milestone enables users to ensure their devices fully comply with 5G standards before market launch.

Key Points:

  • Validation Achievement: First 5G NR FR1 1024-QAM demodulation test cases validated.
  • Technology: Supports enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB) with higher data rates, increased bandwidth, improved reliability, and lower latency.
  • Test Platform: 1024-QAM support added to the E7515B UXM 5G Test platform, available as a software upgrade.
  • Release 16 Enhancements: Validated WI-528 Release 16 NR Demodulation Performance Enhancements, now open for certification.
  • Industry Support: Supported by multiple operators, ensuring rigorous compliance and performance checks.
