EB Base Station Interface Tester

The introduction of OBSAI specifications has opened up the base station market by enabling development of individual modules. At the same time, new challenges for both module verification and base station integration are arising. The EB Base Station Interface Tester is specially designed for R&D purposes to meet these challenges.

With the EB Base Station Interface Tester, the RP3 and RP3-01 interfaces of RF or Baseband modules can be easily verified without other base station parts. The tester can also be used for monitoring and real-time analysis of RP3 and RP3-01 data transmission between the modules of a running base station in the integration lab or in field operations.

EB Base Station Interface Tester benefits

Traditionally, testing base station modules prior to the system integration phase has required proprietary in-house solutions. With the EB Base Station Interface Tester, the established wireless chipset, module and system developers, as well as new market entrants, can now easily verify the functionality and performance of their design with a proven turnkey solution.

Using the EB Base Station Interface Tester helps to minimize test deve-lopment efforts, allowing developers to focus on product development and shortening time-to-market. The tester also supports simulation of rarely occurring error situations. This enables error recovery testing in a con-trolled manner and makes the tester a powerful tool in increasing product reliability.
