Ascom Inc. announced The new scanner design supports LTE baseband scanning in the 700 MHz bands while simultaneously supporting EvDO scanning of the 850/1900 MHz bands, simplifying deployment of multi-mode LTE/EvDO systems and offering advanced baseband decoding analysis for LTE deployment. An enhancement of Ascom’s existing leading RF scanner design, this third generation Software-Defined Radio (SDR) solution builds on Ascom’s proven technology while serving to increase its utility and improve performance at the same time.
The LTE mode provides E-UTRA carrier RSSI, Reference Symbol received power, Ec/No and SIR on the primary and secondary synchronization signals, Cell IDs, Cell Master Information Block data, Cell System Information Block data, MIMO reference signals, Ec/Io, SIR, and CCIR, and a wealth of other LTE RF information. The LTE scanner performs synchronization detection at a rate of six LTE channels per second.
