WaveJudge 5000 test system

WaveJudge 5000

Sanjole’s newest over-air, wireless communications analyzer

Sanjole’s WaveJudge, the first over-air monitor solution to give you real-time visibility into the interaction between protocol and physical layers in wireless transmissions, has gone modular and is now more scalable, customizable, and cost-effective than ever.

Called the WaveJudge 5000, our newest over-air, wireless communications analyzer gives you greater capabilities and ease in testing and troubleshooting, while upholding renowned Sanjole test features that enable users to:

Understand the interactions between the mobile station or user equipment and the base station at all layers
Identify complex causes of interoperability problems
Improve the performance of the overall wireless connection
Verify base station behavior from an over-the-air interface, including complex antennae and modulation schemes
Evaluate the impact on performance of MIMO, beamforming and scheduling
Capture wireless conditions in the field for replay in the lab
Accurately identify anomalies that affect throughput and delay

From the beginning, Sanjole has delivered solutions that collapse troubleshooting from days to minutes. Building on the power of the capabilities of the WaveJudge/IntelliJudge product line, the WaveJudge 5000 now also enables you to customize your troubleshooting platform to address demanding and evolving challenges with greater ease and efficiency:

More ports to test higher-order MIMO

The WaveJudge 5000 can support up to 32 truly synchronized ports in each coherent set. Test 8×4, 8×2, or 4×4 MIMO configurations and incorporate multiple layers beyond the current two-layer scheme. For large-scale testing, up to 64 chassis (up to 256 modules) can be daisy-chained per system.

More bandwidth to test carrier aggregation

The WaveJudge 5000 can support up to five instances of CA with 40 MHz channels.

Need more memory for data capture to troubleshoot timing or functionality? The WaveJudge 5000 RAM and SSD memory can store hours of IQ data, with flexible configuration options for tracking long-term trends or to isolate intermittent anomalies. Depending on your application, IQ captures can be invaluable in recreating the wireless channel and providing in depth physical analysis.

Perform tests on large numbers of sample-and phase-locked antennae

The WaveJudge 5000 ports are truly synchronized, allowing you to avoid time-consuming tangents such as troubleshooting alignment issues between devices.

Need to detect and eliminate transient errors regardless of the layer in which they occur? The WaveJudge 5000 helps you isolate problem areas by taking advantage of real-time triggering on lower and upper layer events, errors, messages, and message content.

Other advanced features include programmable frequency, useful when developing systems for multiple markets; an internal system-wide master clock to ensure proper sample count and timestamp alignment regardless of module or chassis density and configuration; and the latest in DSP cores, FPGA density, and technology-specific accelerators, to power through real-time testing.
