ACQUA - Advanced Communication Quality Analysis

The Advanced Communication Quality Analysis system ACQUA is a dual channel signal analyzer and signal generator optimized for telecommunication measurements.

ACQUA is a data acquisition, measurement and analysis system for nearly all applications in tele communications. ACQUA is suitable for measure ments and analysis of terminal equipment, network components, answering machines and complete point-to-point measurements of single networks or network configurations. In addition to meeting the requirements of international standards such as ITU-T, ETSI, 3GPP, TIA CTIA, GSMA and IEEE, ACQUA provides a wide variety of special measurements and evaluations ne cessary for the development of modern tele communication equipment.

When combining ACQUA with the HATS HMS II.3, very realistic measurement setups can be achieved allowing highly authentic simulation of real use scenarios. An outstanding feature is the ability for subjective evaluation of different test situations.

ACQUA has three main fields of application:

• Automated data acquisition and analysis of standard measurements for terminal equipment and transmission lines of bandwidth up to 20 kHz

• Analysis of transmission systems with non-linear, time-variant transfer characteristics

• Experimental development and optimization of terminal equipment, networks and network components When connected to the different front ends for signal conditioning, measurement of almost all equipment in the field of telecommunications is possible:

• Analog and digital telephones with handset (narrowband, wideband, superwideband, fullband) • Analog and digital hands-free equipment and conference systems (mobile, office, car ...)

• Analog and digital cordless telephones and mobile telephones (DECT, GSM, UMTS, CDMA, VoLTE ...) • Network components like speech echo cancellers, digital circuit multiplication equipment (DCME), VoIP

gateways ...

• Complete range of analysis possibilities

• Predefined test cases for fast, automated

measurements according to standards • Automatic report generation

• Possibility to build custom standards and measuring sequences

• Data base for archiving time signals, transfer functions, test results and test conditions

• Measurements with any test signals

• Outstanding possibilities for signal preparation and manipulation to optimize quality

• Auditive evaluation of measurement objects,

especially important for non-linear, time-variant systems

• A/B comparison of different measurement
