RF Channel Modeling & Emulation
Spirent’s industry leadership in modeling and emulating real-world RF Channel conditions in a lab environment has helped customers reduce costs, while allowing them to avoid having to test in actual live field environments, which in many cases can be dangerous.
Spirent Vertex Channel Emulator
Spirent Vertex Channel Emulator is a versatile platform that offers unprecedented scalability while supporting emulation of many channel models. The chassis’ simple plug-and-play design is built to support a broad range of applications that require varying channel densities; from basic applications like two-channel SISO to complex, high channel density applications like MIMO OTA, carrier aggregation, antenna array systems, higher order MIMO OTA, and 3D bidirectional beamforming.
Vertex simplifies complex test setups by minimizing the amount of hardware needed, providing an intuitive and easy-to-use graphical user interface and using field-upgradeable RF modules per test requirements.
