FR3 aims to bridge the gap between the extensive coverage of FR1 and the high capacity of FR2, making it a versatile option for future network demands. To validate the design of a new FR3 RFFE Control Interface, development engineers must ensure it is future-proof as the standard evolves. This involves characterizing complex active components to guarantee system performance upon deployment, a process that requires complex test setups, increasing test cycle time and the risk of errors during the development workflow.
Keysight’s PNA-X Network Analyzers simplify the complex characterization test setups with a highly configurable architecture. ADI has successfully developed a comprehensive FR3 radio front-end signal chain (6-18GHz) to accelerate the development of FR3. This accomplishment provides a robust foundation for the seamless integration and deployment of 6G FR3 technology, paving the way for the next generation of wireless communication.
