Anritsu analyzers test HSDPA HDR, W-CDMA Band XI
-- Test & Measurement World, 3/5/2008 12:00:00 PM
Two new options from Anritsu bring HSDPA High Data Rate (HDR) and W-CDMA Band XI test capabilities to the MT8820B and MT8815B radio communication analyzers for testing the high data rates and transmit/receive characteristics of next-generation mobile devices.
The MX882000C-013 HSDPA HDR option tests the throughput of HSDPA terminals supporting the 3.6-Mbps (Category 6), 7.2-Mbps (Categories 7 and 8), and 14-Mbps (Category 10) classes. Both versions of the 3GPP W-CDMA Band XI option support W-CDMA Band XI in the call processing mode. Intended for R&D environments, the MX882050C-008 option is compatible with Anritsu’s W-CDMA Developer Test Suite to conduct highly accurate RF tests. The MX882030C-008 option works with Anritsu’s applicable Manufacturing Test Suite for making RF adjustments and RF parametric tests on mobile terminal production lines.
Both the MT8820B and MT8815B radio communication analyzers leverage DSP and parallel-measurement technologies to reduce manufacturing and inspection test times. Covering a frequency range of 30 MHz to 2.7 GHz, the MT8820B also measures the major transmit and receive characteristics of 1xEV-DO, GSM/GPRS/EGPRS, CDMA2000 1X, TD-SCDMA, and PHS/Advanced PHS terminals from a single instrument.
The MX882000C-013 HSDPA HDR option costs $8969. The MX882050C-008 and MX882030C-008 W-CDMA Band XI packages cost $897 each.
