Overview
The VIAVI Multi-RAT Signal Analyzer is a set of signal analysis capabilities on the OneAdvisor 800 wireless platform for validating 4G and 5G radio access networks. It covers signal quality and coverage measurements used by mobile operators, field engineers and network optimization teams.
The OneAdvisor 800 performs blind scanning of 4G, DSS and 5G signals across low, mid and high bands, and evaluates signal strength and quality of control channels, including reference signals and beams. It identifies multiple radios and beams and determines signal dominance.
Multi-carrier coverage measurements are supported for concurrent 4G and 5G carriers in any band and bandwidth, and time and synchronization can be assessed against primary reference clocks.
Hardware
The measurements run on the OneAdvisor 800 mainframe fitted with a Radio Analysis Module: the RA09MA-O, RA18MA-O, RA32MA-O and RA44MA-O modules cover 9 kHz up to 9, 18.5, 32 or 44 GHz, and the SPA06MA / SPA06MA-O modules cover 9 kHz to 6 GHz. Individual analysis functions such as blind scanning, LTE, DSS, NSA and 5G NR signal and OTA analysis are enabled through software options.
