Leading-edge test solutions for emerging 5G, satellite and signal integrity applications will be showcased by Anritsu at European Microwave Week (EuMW) in Paris (October 1-3). Also highlighted will be its vector network analyser (VNA) technology. These solutions meet the testing requirements to verify chipsets, components, and systems associated with today’s high-speed, high-frequency commercial and military applications.

Anritsu announced that visitors to ECOC 2019 will see demonstrations of the brand new 64,2GBaud NRZ / 58,2GBaud PAM4 Error Detector for the MP1900A Signal Quality Analyser-R. The MP1900A series is a high-performance Bit Error Rate Tester (BERT) that accurately measures communications equipment, next-generation high-speed electronic and optical devices, including those for M2M and IoT applications, and optical transceivers used in high-end servers...

With what the company believes to be the world’s highest operation bit rate and Rx sensitivity, this new ED module for Anritsu’s popular Signal Quality Analyser-R MP1900A Series PAM4 BERT supports high-accuracy Bit and Symbol Error Ratio measurement of PAM4 signals when combined with the previously released PAM4 Pattern Signal Generator.

PCI Express (PCIe) 5.0 technology has been demonstrated using the Anritsu Signal Quality Analyser-R MP1900A high-performance Bit Error Rate Tester (BERT) and Synopsys DesignWare IP for PCI Express 5.0 during the PCI-SIG Developers Conference 2019.

A 43.5GHz frequency option has been released by Anritsu for its 2- and 4-port ShockLine MS46122B, MS46322B, MS46522B, and MS46524B vector network analysers (VNAs) with guaranteed specifications using Anritsu’s Extended-K type connectors and components.

South Korea’s leading mobile operator, KT Corporation, has selected the Anritsu Field Master Pro MS2090A RF handheld spectrum analyser to test the world’s first 5G nationwide network in the sub-6GHz band.

A spectrum analyser which has been developed for evaluating the output characteristics of optical active devices used by optical communications systems has been unveiled by Anritsu. The MS9740B keeps the same measurement-sensitivity performance, functions, and size as the predecessor MS9740A.  

  Did you know that 5G is the ‘fifth generation in mobile networks’ and is already being rolled-out in some parts of the world?

A four-channel (4ch) sampling oscilloscope option for the BERTWave MP2110A has been announced by Anritsu, enabling integration of multi-channel oscilloscope and BERT (Bit Error Rate Tester) in an-all-in-one unit. Backbone networks and data centres increasingly use 100G Ethernet to meet anticipated traffic demand for services such as 5G and are considering implementing 400G Ethernet.

  The webinar is focused on details of 3GPP 5G NR specifications for R15. It will focus on 5G key concepts and protocol stack specification across all the layers. 

The Signal Quality Analyser-R MP1900A BERT from Anritsu has been enhanced with the introduction of four PAM4 BERT options adding multichannel synchronisation, multilane FEC pattern generation for 400GbE, Inter Symbol Interference (ISI) stressed signal generation to simulate transmission path losses, and application software for capturing device under test (DUT) error counts.

A joint demonstration of Anritsu’s MT8000A 5G tester with TCL Communication’s first 5G USB device is being staged at Mobile World Congress 2019 in Barcelona (February 25-28). The TCL Communication 5G USB device is a high-speed internet access point supporting 3GPP Rel. 15 with 2-Gbps downlink and 1-Gbps uplink data rates, providing consumers with a convenient link for Cloud office applications and games.

Anritsu has showcased its 5G test prowess in a joint demonstration with Inseego, a 5G and intelligent IoT device-to-cloud solutions pioneer at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. In the demonstration, the Anritsu Radio Communication Test Station MT8000A will verify that the performance of an Inseego 28GHz (n261) 5G device meets the 3GPP standards for 5G New Radio (5G NR) operating at millimeter (mmWave) frequencies.

Wireless test engineers out in the field can now access frequency coverage up to 54GHz with Anritsu’s Field Master Pro MS2090A RF handheld spectrum analyser launched today (February 26) at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona (February 25-28). Real-time spectrum analysis bandwidth is pushed up to 100MHz.

What is said to be the industry’s first Protocol Conformance test in the Sub-6GHz Frequency Range 1 (FR1) has been submitted to the 3GPP RAN5 working group for approval by Anritsu. The test defined by 3GPP TS38.523 has been verified with Exynos modem 5100 5G New Radio (NR) modem developed by Samsung’s System LSI Business on Anritsu ME7834NR Protocol Conformance test system.  

The Helio M70 5G modem from MediaTek has achievedthe maximum downlink and uplink throughput using Anritsu’s Radio Communication Test Station MT8000A, providing a flexible test platform for ultrafast, large-capacity 5G communications usingwideband signal processing and beamforming.

Anritsu’s 5G NR RF Conformance Test System ME7873NR has won approval for 5G NR RF Conformance Tests and the 5G NR Mobile Device Test Platform ME7834NR has won GCF Validation for 5G NR Protocol Conformance Testsfrom the Global Certification Forum in January 2019.

Global provider of test and measurement solutions for advanced and converged networks, Anritsu Corporation, has announced that the 5G NR RF Conformance Test System ME7873NR has won approval for 5G NR RF Conformance Tests as well as the 5G NR Mobile Device Test Platform ME7834NR has won GCF Validation for 5G NR Protocol Conformance Tests from the Global Certification Forum in January 2019. 

A successful eCall (a built-in emergency call in IVS) sledge Test Demo at the ADAC Technology Centre took advantage of the performance of the Anritsu Network Simulator MD8475A. The instrument is an all-in-one base station simulator supporting LTE, LTE-Advanced, W-CDMA/HSPA/HSPA Evolution/DC-HSDPA, GSM/EGPRS, CDMA2000 1X/1xEV-DO Rev. A. and TD-SCDMA/TD-HSPA.

Electronic Specifier has recently been in discussion with Anritsu about the company’s new developments dedicated to the automotive market. Among them are fixed attenuators, power splitters, dividers, directional couplers, and spectrum analysers.
