The new MT8821C Radio Communication Analyzer

”We are very happy to have the latest Anritsu box, MT8821C base station emulator, integrated in our MIMO OTA Carrier Aggregation RC+CE test platform for 3 and 4CC, as this will certainly add value to our customers”, said David Sanchez-Hernandez, CEO and co-founder of EMITE. "Our first installations with this outstanding combination were done in early September this year, and they were among the first handful MIMO OTA test platforms to operate with MT8821C worldwide". 

The MT8821C Radio Communication Analyzer is designed for R&D of mobile devices/user equipment (UE), such as smartphones, tablets and M2M modules. It builds on the technologies of its popular predecessor, the MT8820C, preferred by UE and chipset vendors worldwide. The new MT8821C supports all technologies, ranging from LTE-Advanced to 3G/2G, with its easy-to-use measurement functions for efficient RF adjustment and testing in one unit.

EMITE’s unique multicavity mode-stirred source-stirred reverberation chamber solutions (MSRC) provide for variety of fading scenarios at a fraction of the cost of alternative anechoic chamber-based test solutions. Along with conventional uniform, isotropic Rayleigh and more complex SCME-based fading profiles for MIMO OTA testing, the EMITE solutions are the only ones also offering other standardized fading profiles using the patented Sample SelectionÒ technique, something unheard of in the wireless arena until now.
