Anritsu’s ME7834 Mobile Device Test Platform (MDTP) offers the highest number of validated protocol conformance test cases for TD-LTE, including interworking with TD-SCDMA and GSM. Confirmation was provided by the Global Certification Forum (GCF) at the recent Conformance and Interoperability Agreement Group (CAG) Meeting #35 held in Lexington, KY, and complements the established success of the ME7834 in LTE FDD conformance.

Anritsu’s MT8220T BTS Master is a multi-function handheld durable tester with all the capabilities network operators, sub-contractors, installers, and regulatory authorities need when measuring base stations. The third generation of Anritsu’s field-proven BTS Master family, the new tester has improved performance, including a standard GPS receiver, and enhanced two-port dynamic range.

Anritsu has expanded its VectorStar family of Vector Network Analysers (VNAs) with the introduction of the MS4640B series. It features a number of new measurement capabilities, including PulseView, which provides pulse profile, point-in-pulse and pulse-to-pulse measurements of S-parameters, and DifferentialView for true mode stimulus S-parameter measurements.

The MS2027C and MS2037C, the latest two members of the VNA Master handheld vector network analyzer family have been introduced by Anritsu. The new VNA Masters are ideal for demanding field use environments, including aerospace and defense, Satellite Communications, commercial wireless backhaul, and research.
