Testing HSUPA devices

Release 6 of the 3GPP standard adds high-speed uplink packet access (HSUPA). A complement to HSDPA, HSUPA allows uplink rates of up to 5.74Mbps. However, with this increase in data rate comes a much more complex and dynamic uplink signal that requires more robust transmitter design and verification. These high data rates also stress the device?s processing power and internal transfer speeds, especially when used in conjunction with HSDPA, requiring careful analysis of the device?s application performance and actual throughput while sending and receiving high-speed data.
