Anritsu Introduces TD-SCDMA Test Solution for Network Deployment

Anritsu has introduced TD-SCDMA handheld test solutions for deploying, installing, and maintaining TD-SCDMA networks now being deployed in China. With the options, field engineers, technicians, and contractors can accurately, and make RF, demodulation, and Over-the-Air (OTA) measurements on TD-SCDMA signals. The TD-SCDMA RF Measurement option offers a suite of test tools, including channel spectrum and power vs. time. The TD-SCDMA Demodulation measurements are used to measure the modulation performance of the selected Node B transmitter’s signal. The OTA measurements provide a way to monitor all 32 user codes outside a base station. Spectrum Master displays the codes in two convenient formats sorted by codes or by Tau, indicating distance from a base station. Code scan view displays all 32 codes in a bar graph with their individual Ec/Io and Tau.

All three options can be used with the MT8222A BTS Master, and the Spectrum Master MS2721B, MS2723B, and MS2724B analyzers. Weighing less than nine pounds, the MT8222A is the smallest, lightest, and most economical handheld solution for complete 2G/3G/4G base station testing. The MS2721B, MS2723B, and MS2724B are the advanced ultra-portable 7.1 GHz, 13 GHz, and 20 GHz spectrum analyzers on the market, weighing in at less than 7 pounds. Their broad frequency coverage and excellent sensitivity, coupled with a wide selection of resolution bandwidths, make the MS272xB series well suited for the most challenging field environments. The delivery is 4-6 weeks ARO at introduction and 2-4 weeks after two months.
