This solution allows uplink test capabilities such as receiver sensitivity testing with real-time BER/BLER, modulation analysis, and data capture as well as downlink test capabilities such as multi-carrier W-CDMA signal and transmitter modulation analysis. It also enables control and management support of HDLC (high-level data link control).
