Make the invisible visible!
Product: LTE spectrum/grids analyzer
The SCSA APP also offer stand alone LTE spectrum analyzer that  can display LTE spectrum as well as Cell ID (as shown on the right). 

When user freezes  the screen, master information block (MIB) info, such as system frame number as well as the grids of the full frame, as shown below, can be displayed. It can show the sub frame boundary and number when required.

Product: Gapless IQ collection system

Four different devices for different purposes.
Spec:
UL and DL IQ data collection:  20-30.72Msps for each direction:
                                                                  12 to 16 bit ADC
Frequency range:                           400 MHz to 6GHz
Maximum input level:                   -20dBm
Minimum RF level:                         -110dBm


Our product is bispoke design to fit into clients needs. one can have particular function of interest, Display of particular items, such as cell ID, PLMN, frequency shifting, time shifting. Alerting user abnormal OTA issues are most useful for network optimisations as well as lab testing.
Services
​​Aperio singals Ltd is specialized in making the invisible RF signals visible, for the wireless R&D work and has the expertise on pinpoint the modem issues over the air (OTA).  We believe  that our tools and services help our brain engaging with invisible RF world better, hence will greatly enhance the performance of engineers. We provide the right tools for the challenging job.

To our clients, seeing is believing, more importantly our services do the heavy lifting of identifying the issues, which enable our clients fully ultilise their strength in fixing the issues, just like NMR imaging for hospitals and doctors.

Here are the examples of our services

  • Help clients identify the toughest 3GPP PHY testcases failure root causes, as well as inter operability tests issues. Propose the resolution to pass the tests. As wireless devices become more and more sophisticated, especially for the multimode smart phones and base stations, many intermittent PHY issues are seen in corner cases in live networks. Most of our clients have encountered the blocking issues in operators and OEMs defined acceptance tests. Wireless industry has seen multi billion dollar investment fell short by a few PHY issues, and our business started from consultancy and services successfully resolving them.
  • Make positive impacts to our client's business in challenging situations. Our services had turned those blocking issues into growth opportunities, and enabled our clients fully realizing their business goals and visions.
  • The big successful clients saw far more corner cases and high expectations from their customers, hence more requirements for the tools and capabilities. We are making more advanced products and services in order to meet such demands.
  • Aperio signals Ltd provides products and services and training that make the differences for our clients.

Currently the system is working semi-automatically, and had cleared the blocking issues for our clients that were threatening their huge investments. Here are the examples of our findings:
  • The toughest PHY issues for new products are functional errors, which always dent the performance, if intermittend and not fail completely. While protocol issues are mostly resolved, some PHY problems were outstanding as blocking issues, causing serious business losses, as the product just could not go out of the door.
  • Some were found to be simply the effect of aging, such as power supply, many expensive boards had been replaced yet the issue was still there. Pinpoint them is the only efficient way of dealing with the issue, and operators often uses network optimisation appraoch as the issues were not obvious. Huge effort and time on trial and error proved that they cannot be resolved by network optimisations. SCSAS appraoch showed clear evidence of the problems and the vendors can fix them with clear direction in just few hours. no need to wait for days and weeks.
  • In multi vendor cases, when PHY issues are blocking the progress of the project, each party has difficulties to identify the exact causes. Often things turn urgly when penalty of delay became iminent, as everyone kicked the ball to others. We have experts who had successfully provided the specialist services to present the convincing facts and evidence, and had resolved challenging issues again and again. We did heavy lifting on identifying unique detail evidence for solving the issues they were struggling with for months. Our professional subject expert knowledge and capability had made great differences in critical moments.

Aperio signals currently provides following services:
  • OTA gapless RF signal collection as baseband IQ data processing and visualisation.
  • SCSAS IQ collections in lab and field.
  • IQ data analysis and troubleshooting. 
  • Issue investigations.
  • Consultancy for root cause analysis and proposal for resolution.
  • Demo and training for OTA data collection and issue drill down.

If you are interested in the above services, please review our term and condition and contact us.
