MCS Test Equipment, Providing State of the Art Technology

The LitePoint IQxstreamTM is a multi-technology testing solution for precise measurements of 2G/3G/4G mobile devices that meets the needs of development laboratories and manufacturing floors.

Lowest Test Cost

The IQxstream Advanced Cellular RF Test System is a scalable, flexible test solution for multi-technology mobile products delivering the lowest test cost.

Purpose-designed hardware with software-defined functionality means buying just what you need now, with the flexibility to upgrade, later, without taking the instrument out of service.

Your requirements dictate IQxstream hardware options for single-DUT testing, multi-DUT testing or MIMO configurations. Optional software configurations are simply UMTS, CDMA2000 and LTE measurement suites.

The IQxstream implements non-signaling testing methodology for lowest test cost. Furthermore, the IQxstream enables advanced testing strategies that go beyond serial-test program flow to include sequential-test and parallel-test execution.

With this capability, up to 4 DUTs can be tested in parallel, in the same time it takes to test one DUT if operating serially.

Supporting Latest Technologies

IQxstream Advanced Cellular RF Test System supports transmitter and receiver measurements of GSM, EDGE, WCDMA, HSPA, HSPA+, CDMA2000 1xRTT, CDMA2000 1xEV-DO and LTE FDD cellular technologies – all with a single instrument. The test system includes a General Purpose RF Tool Box adding signal generator, signal analyzer and power meter test resources for development and debug work.

Key Test Challenges Addressed

• Cost of Test
  • Test cost reduction with parallel test
  • IQxstream can test 4 DUTs in less time than 2 DUTs using traditional methods due to unique parallel processing architecture
• Test cost reduction with hardware DUT control
  • Fastest absolute test time based upon hardware sequence based testing: test time is now limited only by the speed of the DUT
• Next Generation Cellular Technology
  • 4G (Long Term Evolution – LTE)
  • Quickest test of 20 MHz channel LTE ACLR (Adjacent Channel Leakage Ratio) in a single capture using 100 MHz IF (Intermediate Frequency) bandwidth
• MIMO-ready
  • Fully verify 1x2 U.E. (user equipment) devices using dual independent vector signal generator (VSG) resources
• Operational Costs
  • Ease of Field Maintenance
  • Re-calibration and repair in as little as 30 minutes due to self-contained RF module assemblies containing all calibration data
• Multi-platform user interface
• Browser-based graphical user interface operates on multiple operating systems
• Allows access to the tester remotely over a TCP/IP network for remote debugging

Total Test Solution

With the addition of a LitePoint IQ2010 Connectivity Test System, the IQxstream Advanced Cellular RF Test System is a total cellular/connectivity, multi-DUT capable test station for today’s complex smart phones, tablets, and more.
