The Keysight S8826A MANET Channel Emulation Toolset is a versatile solution designed for evaluating the performance of mobile ad-hoc networks (MANET) and mesh radio systems under realistic radio propagation conditions. It offers a standard, waveform-agnostic approach compatible with all proprietary systems, addressing the increasing complexity of wireless military communication systems, including advancements like MIMO and beamforming. This toolset is crucial for testing large mesh network topologies with dynamic channel and interference conditions.
### Key Technical Details
* **Network Topology:**
* Supports mesh configurations of up to 64 radios within a single unit for testing large SISO and MIMO mesh network topologies.
* Based on PROPSIM F64 and PROPSIM FS16 channel emulators, offering scalability from 2 to 16 radios (PROPSIM FS16) and 8 to 64 radios (PROPSIM F64).
* **Frequency Range:**
* Full operating frequency range from HF up to 6 GHz.
* Can be extended to 6-12 GHz bands when combined with the Keysight E7770A Common Interface Unit.
* **Bandwidth:**
* Up to 1.2 GHz of instantaneous bandwidth for testing ultra-wideband gigabit links.
* **Testing Capabilities:**
* Enables end-to-end performance and interoperability testing of mission-critical tactical wireless communication systems.
* Provides high-performance, network-level channel emulation for replicating field-testing conditions in a repeatable manner.
* Facilitates hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing of critical communication networks with full control over parameters such as Doppler shift, delay, and phase.
* Waveform agnostic, supporting all proprietary systems.
* **Extensibility and Software:**
* Can be expanded with Keysight’s F9860000A Channel Studio software for creating customer-specific channel models.
* Channel Studio offers dynamic modeling capabilities including mobile speed, multipath profiles, range delay, and base station antenna correlation, with features to model noise and inter-symbol interference.
* Channel Studio provides advanced radio channel modeling for real-time testing of devices, radio systems, and transceivers, as well as for wireless link and system-level simulations.
* **Underlying Technology:**
* The S8826A toolset is built upon the PROPSIM F64 and PROPSIM FS16 channel emulators.
