EB Propsim Radio Channel Emulators

The development of present and future wireless systems and communications imposes heavy requirements on product development methods and testing. The understanding of the radio channel behavior is a key success factor. EB provides state-of-the-art test equipment for measuring, modeling and emulating the radio channel.

EB Propsim radio channel emulators are tools for air interface testing, replacing the real-world radio channel between a transmitter and a receiver. The EB Propsim product family of radio channel emulators provides realistic and repeatable test conditions for air interface testing in your lab. You can test and verify the performance and functionality of your receiver and transmitter designs, and wireless systems against deployment environment.

Ease of use is a key design principle in all EB Propsim products. EB Propsim radio channel emulators are developed and continuously improved with input from customers at the leading edge of wireless communication technology. EB's radio channel competence is based on strong research activities and participation in academic and standardization co-operation.

EB's radio channel product family consists of EB Propsim radio channel emulators, EB Propsound radio channel sounder and complementary tools. The EB Propsim product family of radio channel emulators includes:

EB Propsim C8 multi-channel emulator for testing of MIMO and network applications

EB Propsim C2 high-performance, easy-to-use wideband radio channel emulator

EB Propsim FE single-box solution for standards-based, cost-effective pre-conformance testing

By using these tools operators, terminal and network infrastructure manufacturers and chipset providers can secure time-to-market, performance goals and quality assurance for their products and services. The ability to benchmark various different solutions in a controlled environment will bring you to the optimal decisions in a shorter time. EB Propsim radio channel emulators are used for a wide variety of testing:

Operators -Comparison of different terminals and base station equipment before introducing them to the field

Terminal and chipset manufacturers -Verification of functionality and performance of the design / product

Defense -Multi-antenna application and software defined radio testing.

Research -Research the effects of air interface to new technologies and emerging standards

Automotive -Testing wireless communication between car and infrastructure

Radio network manufacturers -Optimization of network performance

The EB Propsim benefits

EB's Propsim radio channel emulators offer realistic radio channel emulation for all current and future wireless communication technologies. The key strengths of the EB Propsim radio channel emulators are arbitrary channel modeling, accurate radio channel emulation and 100% repeatability of the radio channel effects. The basic principles of EB Propsim design are wide bandwidth and broad centre frequency coverage, which allows testing of all wireless standards up to 6GHz. Integrated graphical user interface tools make EB Propsim radio channel emulators straightforward and easy-to-use in various product development testing phases. These key benefits improve the efficiency of the product development process and quality of the design.

EB Propsim radio channel emulators offer a wide range of options and can be tailored to your current testing requirements. All EB Propsim radio channel emulators are easily upgradable for future wireless applications by adding new features and options after the initial investment. Additional options and channels can be installed in the same device to enable more complex test scenarios without adding new devices to the test system.
