Channel Emulators

ACE9600

The dBm Advanced Channel Emulator (ACE) is the most advanced non-terrestrial RF channel emulation solution to date. The emulated impairments include delay, signal Doppler, attenuation, phase offset, AWGN, frequency hopping, payload and multipath fading. The instrument can house up to four 600 MHz instantaneous bandwidth channels. Impairment emulation can be set to fixed values in Static mode, or continuously changed in real time in Dynamic mode without any phase discontinuities.
