Anritsu MT8821C Radio Communication Analyser with LTE-A support

Click2Contact

The Anritsu MT8821C Radio Communication Analyser is an all-in-one RF tester with the capability for supporting LTE-A as well as all other adopted technologies.

With eight transmitter ports and two receiver ports, a single system will perform LTE-Advanced Carrier Aggregation (CA) with up to four Component Carriers (CCs) using 2 x 2 MIMO, as well as two Component Carrier aggregation (2CCs) in the uplink. A built-in RF combiner simplifies configuration of complex test environments for LTE-A CA, while reducing test environment calibration procedures.

The MT8821C supports 2G to 4G wireless tests, making it a single-instrument solution to validate co-existing UEs integrating multiple technologies. As well as supporting LTE-A, the unit operates as network simulator supporting LTE, W-CDMA/HSPA, GSM/GPRS/EGPRS, TD-SCDMA/HSPA, and CDMA2000 1X/1x EVDO technologies. Covering 30 MHz to 6 GHz, it can conduct RF TRx tests in compliance with the 3GPP and 3GPP2 standards, as well as parametric and functional tests such as maximum throughput.

Preset measurement parameters for test items specified by the 3GPP RF test standards eliminate set-up and operation errors. Additionally, engineers can establish and change test parameters easily using a new GUI that is accessed through a 12.1″ touch screen. An advanced parameter search function enables complex user test settings to be quickly and reliably configured, and automatic PASS/FAIL of measured results according to test specification shortens test times for greater cost efficiencies.
