What is LTE-Advanced FDD/TDD Carrier Aggregation?
What is LTE-Advanced FDD/TDD Carrier Aggregation?
The FDD and TDD methods are standardized by the LTE-Advanced specification. The FDD
method divides the frequency band in use into separate frequencies for sending and for
receiving, whereby both sending and receiving are performed simultaneously. The TDD
method uses the same frequencies for both sending and receiving but sends and receives
alternately at different, very-short, time instants.
LTE-Advanced Carrier Aggregation is a virtualization technology for creating a wider bandwidth (range of electromagnetic
frequencies) by combining multiple allocated frequency bands. In wireless communications systems, more data can be
transferred at higher speeds as the frequency band becomes wider. In other words, if a communications carrier has a 20-
MHz band and 10-MHz band, using this technology increases the peak and average data speeds for subscribers to the
same data rate as when using a single 30-MHz wide bandwidth.

LTE-A FDD Carrier Aggregation RF Throughput Test
■Carrier Aggregation 3CCs plus DL MIMO (PHY Throughput Measurement)
Throughput for a specified reference measurement channel (not IP throughput) is
measured with three MT8820Cs. Each downlink carrier component consists of 2x2
MIMO (2 layers). Three MT8820Cs are synchronized with a synchronization signal.
