Testing (or even type approval).

Hello, I've picked up what appears to be most of a Rohde & Schwarz TS8916B GSM Type Approval system (CRTC02 equipment, a Sofimation SOFI05 radio channel/fading simulator and various RF switching) and wondered if it may be of use in testing the baseband. Or can everything we would want to test be done using simple MS test equipment and/or a BTS with OpenBSC? I did also wonder whether it would be possible to use this to try and achieve type approval, but realise that even if the rest of the hardware could be gathered together it would be a huge learning curve and even then maybe you have to be accredited/authorised for TA (or other challenges would prevent this). In any case, I thought it worth asking the question before it is split up. Regards, Andrew PS.

GPIB is used for control between these and to also control the SOFI, RF switches and other equipment that is missing (a signal generator and a second SOFI at least). -- Andrew Back http://carrierdetect.com
