Bluetooth tester runs the lot in 10 seconds
Anritsu has introduced the MT8850A tester to offer manufacturers of Bluetooth modules comprehensive, one-button testing traceable to national standards.
1480nm pump laser diode for DWDM systems
Anritsu has introduced a 1480nm pump laser diode offering a minimum in-fibre power of 300mW.
These technologies allow mobile phone users to access the Internet and download files at speeds comparable with many fixed line modems.
This in turn will fuel the revolution in the way in which we use mobile phones and the way we use the Internet.
The MT8801C will, for the first time, allow manufacturers of mobile phones to test their products on the production line in a fast and efficient way.
It is the world's first manufacturing tester for GPRS and HSCSD that supports all other major cellular standards, including GSM 400/900/1800/1900, PHS, PDC, DECT, IS-136, AMPS and IS-95.
GPRS and HSCSD utilise more than one transmission time slot per GSM frame to achieve the higher data rates.
These multiple time slots place new demands on the mobile's transmitter and receiver.
The MT8801C has been designed to test multi-slot transmissions and reception.
It also supports the ETSI GPRS test mode, which ensures faster more reliable transmitter measurements.
Existing Anritsu customers will also benefit from this introduction as earlier instruments can also be upgraded to support GPRS and HSCSD.
