UK’s University of Bristol has selected Anite’s Propsim F8 Channel Emulator for its 5G research projects. Anite’s Propsim F8 is a radio channel emulator with an RF channel bandwidth of 160 MHz. Propsim F8 enables the University of Bristol to ‘stack’ multiple channels in the frequency domain to test wideband applications that use antenna array technology and beamforming techniques for millimetre wave wireless access technologies.

According to Anite, Propsim F8 enables research organizations and wireless equipment manufacturers to verify very high data rates as well as implement advanced 5G and 802.11ac features, such as multi-user MIMO and beamforming. Its user-friendly interface, with its pre-built library of channel models, enables researchers and developers to quickly design new propagation models by rigorously modelling the components that make up a communications link. 

Paul Beaver, Products Director at Anite’s Device & Infrastructure Business
Anite is delighted to support the University of Bristol, helping them to further upgrade their advanced wireless channel emulation facility and achieve their 5G research goals.

Professor Andrew Nix, Dean of the Faculty of Engineering and Head of the CSN Group
Anite’s Propsim F8 Channel Emulators with enhanced bandwidth capability will open a new avenue in our 5G research in projects such as Horizon 2020 mmMAGIC and 5G-XHaul, as well as collaborative projects with industry.
