The Agilent/Keysight F9860A is a Channel Studio Software platform engineered for advanced wireless channel modeling and simulation across cellular, satellite, and WLAN systems. It delivers multi-cell, multi-device scenario modeling with dynamic mobility, realistic antenna embedding, and comprehensive MIMO correlation representation—essential for 5G/6G development, AI-RAN workflows, and over-the-air testing validation.
– Technical Specifications
Channel modeling types include RF Ray Tracing, Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN), Wireless Sensing, Geometric Channel Modeling (GCM) with 3GPP TR 38.901 compliance, RF Field-to-Lab, WLAN, and Tapped Delay Line implementations. NTN modeling supports flexible propagation channels between ground stations and LEO, MEO, and GEO satellites with dynamic, phase-coherent delay Doppler effects, ITU-R P618 path loss and atmospheric rain attenuation, plus 3GPP TR 38.811 TDL and CDL multipath fading models.
The platform handles link delay and Doppler modeling, multi-antenna array embedding with time-variant MIMO correlations, and beamforming emulation for single and multi-user scenarios. Virtual environment setup enables physical location and RF characteristic definition for transmitters and receivers, with dynamic radio movement along predefined paths supporting variable speeds and orientations.
