Rising demands for LTE MIMO OTA mandatory test
As of April 1, 2017, CTIA LTE MIMO OTA test plan for MIMO downlink version 1.1 has become mandatory for certification testing, which means the smart hand-held manufacturers who intend to obtain the CTIA certification will need to conduct MIMO OTA test in a third-party lab.For this reason, the demands for MIMO OTA have emerged. As the first batch of CTIA authorized MIMO OTA Lab in Asia, iST indicated, so far it has received many inquiries from the customers in the scope of smart hand-held device, telecommunication and communication system.CTIA (Cellular Telephone Industries Association), a global non-profit organization founded in 1984. CTIA vigorously advocates at all levels of wireless products and IoT industry. The wireless communication trade show hosted by CTIA is considered as the biggest global event specific to wireless field, which has lasted for more than 20 years.Because the rise of 4G, the curtain of SISO (single-input single-output) fell and replaced by MIMO antenna (Multi-path), the latter has become the tidal wave of wireless communication.Since the channel model is becoming more complex, the communication system manufacturers need to verify MIMO antenna and its system efficiency through a MIMO OTA test for the accurate simulation and channel model generation. Hence, the birth of CTIA mandatory test standard has reached a final goal and ended the continued chaos of LTE MIMO OTA test.The MIMO testing laboratory

VATek to demo DVB-T2 broadcasting platform at Broadcast Asia 2017
Taiwan based digital TV modulator chip design house - VATek plans to introduce its DVB-T2 ENMODER chip at 2017 Broadcast Asia May 23-25 in Singapore. Along with VATek's new turnkey broadcasting solution that helps manufactures to expedite the development of digital TV broadcasting device. The new Android API for VATek USB modulator will also make the very first debut at the exhibition.VATek will bring the world's first NON-FPGA DVB-T2 modulator to Singapore during the exhibit of BCA 2017. DVB-T2 is the latest digital TV broadcast standard as an extension of existing DVB-T standard, to allow a better use of the spectral resources by integrating cutting edge signal processing technologies. Like DVB-T, DVB T2 uses OFDM modulation and provides with more numbers of carriers and modulation constellations up to 256-QAM. The most important feature, known as rotated constellations, has been introduced to provide additional robustness in transmission. All the features above require huge amount of signal processing and mathematical calculations when modulating DVB-T2 signal. Therefore, high-end FPGA is required when making DVB-T2 transmitter. After nearly 2 years of development, in March 2017, VATek has successfully verified its very first NON-FPGA DVB-T2 modulator chip. VATek will have a live demo of DVB-T2 modulator at the booth.With an increasing number of market growth in digital TV headend products. TV broadcast equipment manufacturers must respond fast. To minimize design period of modulator product. VATek introduce a new turnkey solution for mini digital TV modulator. Supports all major digital TV standards, like DVB-T, DVB-C, ATSC, Clear QAM, ISDB-T and DTMB for China. It's a ready to go solution, can help engineers to build product in very short period of time. All design reference is open sourced. VATek will release updates seasonally, new add-on features will also be release irregularly. The solution expected to help manufactures to design digital broadcast product with quickly. The live demo of VATek turnkey module will also available at 2017 Broadcast Asia.In addition to the turnkey platform, VATek's exhibit at Broadcast Asia will include a new concept smart broadcaster with ANDROID JAVA API, as well as advanced advertising system. This new platform connects VATek USB modulator to SoCs and easily transfer any ANDROID device into a smart broadcaster or advertising device. The idea is to make the platform to handle different media source feeds, or generate sophisticated graphics with powerful graphics engine that modern SoC already has, then broadcast all those contents via VATek USB modulator.
