NI LTE Test Solution Datasheet
OverviewThe NI LTE Toolkit provides tools and functions to generate and analyze signals to test LTE signals that conform to the 3GPP specifications. The toolkit includes soft front panelsfor easily generating and analyzing LTE signals and API for automating LTE tests, providing a fast, high performance test system.
Application and Technology
Speed and PerformanceThe NI LTE toolkit provides the speed needed for production test environments and the high performance, both in EVM and dynamic range needed for r&d and characterizationenvironments.
The image above shows LTE EVM as a %age for varying input power levels.
The image above shows LTE UTRA ACP in dBc at varying input power levels. The LTE signal is a Fully Filled PUSCH, 10 MHz signal. An NI PXIe-5644R vector signaltransceiver is used to generate the signal and an NI PXIe-5665 vector signal analyzer is used to analyze it.
Average Test TimesThe following numbers were obtained using
NI-5644R Vector Signal Transceiver for generation

The NI LTE toolkit is supported in
LabVIEW
LabWindows / CVI
C/C++
.NET
Shipping example programs are included with all the above programming environments. Below are descriptions of some of the basic functions.
niLTE SA Open Session VI
Looks up an existing niLTE analysis session using the session name parameter and returns the refnum that you can pass to subsequent niLTE Analysis VIs. If the look up fails,the niLTE SA Open Session VI creates a new niLTE analysis session and returns a new refnum.
niLTE SA EARFCN to Carrier Frequency VI
Computes the carrier frequency using the value that you specify in the EARFCN parameter, as described in section 5.7.3 of the 3GPP TS 36.101 v8.6.0 specifications.
niLTE SA Set Cyclic Prefix Mode VI
Sets the Cyclic Prefix Mode property.
niLTE RFSA Measure VI
Configures the NI RF vector signal analyzer and initiates acquisition on the hardware. When the Recommended Acquisition Type property is set to IQ, this VI fetches thewaveforms and calls the niLTE SA Analyze VI in a loop n times to perform measurements on the acquired waveforms, where n is equal to the number of averages specified.
niLTE SA Analyze (Complex Cluster)
Performs Demodulation, PvT, CCDF, CHP, ACP, OBW, and SEM measurements on the input complex waveform. Use this VI only if the Recommended Acquisition Type propertyis set to IQ.
LTE Measurements The images below show some of the measurements taken using the LTE LabVIEW API. The LTE signal is generated using an NI-5644R and acquired using an NI PXIe-5665vector signal analyzer.

Support and ServicesSystem Assurance Programs
NI system assurance programs are designed to make it even easier for you to own an NI system. These programs include configuration and deployment services for your NI PXI,CompactRIO, or Compact FieldPoint system. The NI Basic System Assurance Program provides a simple integration test and ensures that your system is delivered completelyassembled in one box. When you configure your system with the NI Standard System Assurance Program, you can select from available NI system driver sets and applicationdevelopment environments to create customized, reorderable software configurations. Your system arrives fully assembled and tested in one box with your software preinstalled.When you order your system with the standard program, you also receive system-specific documentation including a bill of materials, an integration test report, a recommendedmaintenance plan, and frequently asked question documents. Finally, the standard program reduces the total cost of owning an NI system by providing three years of warrantycoverage and calibration service. Use the online product advisors at ni.com/advisor to find a system assurance program to meet your needs.
