UXM 5G Test Application

Features and Capabilities

Around the world, commercial development and deployment of 5G technology is

accelerating to address a wide range of exciting use cases for consumers and

industry verticals. Enabling 5G technology deployment requires rolling out new

chipsets and devices at the right price and time.

5G introduces new challenges with the use of millimeter-wave (mmWave)

frequencies and beam management and the need for validating complex, integrated

next-generation devices over the air (OTA). Keysight enables you to address these

5G design challenges by delivering a comprehensive range of solutions and services

that span the device workflow and accelerate innovation for next-generation devices.

The Keysight UXM 5G Test Application is a scalable solution that spans the

development and acceptance stages of the 5G device workflow. The solution

provides a high level of customization for network parameters and testing scenarios.

Keysight’s first-to-market 5G Network Emulation Solutions are mature and have been

adopted by the 5G key players. The UXM 5G Test Application provides the most

comprehensive solution for 5G device development in the market.

UXM 5G Test Application Overview

The UXM 5G Test Application enables you to set up and control Keysight’s UXM 5G

network emulator (Figure 1). The software spans the development and acceptance

stages of the chipset and device workflow, from early prototype testing to integration

and verification. It offers significant configuration and customization capabilities for

research and development (R&D) purposes.

The UXM 5G Test Application includes a comprehensive suite of tools for network emulation, radio-

frequency (RF) parametric testing, and functional and application-level testing. The easy-to-use graphical

user interface (GUI), Test Application Framework, allows you to handle all operations related to emulation

and testing across all scenarios, accelerating time to market.
