R&S®TSMx is the product family for state-of-the-art network scanners for drive and walk tests and includes the R&S®TSMS8, R&S®TSMA6B and R&S®TSME6 scanners. R&S®TSMx products passively capture data from the air interface, offering a pure and accurate view of RF performance and MIB/SIB/Layer 3 messages from the most popular technologies without needing to subscribe to network services.
Key facts
Ideal for verifying the coverage of all networks at once
Decodes all channels in multiple technologies
Available for drive tests and indoor measurements
I/Q streaming of up to 100 MHz Bandwidth
Wide frequency coverage from 10 MHz up to 8.5 GHz (up to 17-53 GHz with R&S®TSMS53DC downconverter)
5G NR support (incl. RedCap)
5G NR support in FR1 up to 8.5 GHz and mmWave (17 to 53 GHz) with R&S®TSMS53DC
The R&S®TSMx is a future-proof hardware platform with an in-field upgrade available for 5G NR (including RedCap and FrMCS) sub 8.5 GHz and mmWave measurements. The additional hardware (R&S®TSME44DC/R;&S®TSMS53DC) needed to measure mmWave frequency bands can be installed for simplified measurement setups and reduced setup times. The system demodulates L3/SIB messages without SIM cards (Release 17).
Automatic channel detection (ACD)
Automatically detect all bands and technologies
The R&S®TSMx detects active channels in a specified band. 5G NR (incl. RedCap), LTE (incl. LTE-M), UMTS, CDMA2000®/1xEV-DO, TETRA, P25 and NB-IoT networks are supported. A spectrum scan option to significantly speed up detection is also available. In this mode, channel lists no longer have to be set up before a measurement campaign.
