Background

It is impossible to underestimate the significance of auto-

mated testing in the wireless industry. Countless tools,

apps and automation frameworks have been developed

for such testing because it is so important and the num-

ber of applications is so vast. When testing with the 5G

R&S®CMX500 radio communication tester, an automated

testing tool covers all aspects of 5G testing is mission criti-

cal, whether for FR1 RF parameteric tests, FR2 OTA mea-

surements or E2E maximum IPthroughput.

Historically, separate tools/applications with nothing in

common and completely disconnected from one another

have addressed various testing areas. This means every-

thing may be different, including the user interface and

the type of user configuration, the handling of DUT auto-

mation and test plans and the way results are generated.

Such unparalleled variations often make the user learning

curve difficult and steep. Even when using the same net-

work emulator, an enormous amount of time and effort

have to be invested in learning the different tools to con-

figure and test hardware functions, reducing efficiency.

New era in graphically creating and executing tests

History need not repeat itself. Rohde & Schwarz offers a

single graphical scripting application for automated 5G

testing that covers any testing, automation and result

management needs. Thanks to the unique, intuitive and

flexible graphical user interface, R&S®CMX500 users never

have to deal with multiple tools. Handling different testing

use cases with a unified user interface flattens the learn-

ing curve and opens up opportunities to move beyond the

testing limits imposed by fragmented applications.

The future will have a more unified approach, where all

necessary functions for any kind of 5G testing are available

from a single graphical user interface.

With R&S®CMsquares sequencer or just

R&S®CMsequencer, Rohde & Schwarz provides unique

and intuitive ways to create test sequences for a wide

range of test use cases, including 5G RF parametric test-

ing, 3GPP RF testing, protocol verification and E2E IP test-

ing. Working seamlessy with R&S®CMsquares interactive

mode, R&S®CMsequencer makes it simple to create and

execute test scripts and test plans in an automated envi-

ronment. Users build tests by arranging color coded func-

tional blocks one after the other, making the whole pro-

cess child’s play. 5G testing has never been easier.
