New option provides the world first suite of GCF-approved RF/RRM tests of MBMS functions for test and validation of HSPA mobile terminals.
They can also be configured, by the use of up to three different software options at any one time, to support measurements on multiformat communications systems including GSM, CDMA, W-CDMA and p/4DQPSK.
The MS2681A covers the frequency range from 9kHz to 3GHz, while the MS2687A extends the upper frequency limit to 30GHz.
Both instruments have a wide dynamic range, of typically 156dB; a wide resolution bandwidth of 20MHz; and a high-speed sweep, with a refresh rate of 20Hz.
The MS2681A and MS2687A offer excellent adjacent channel power ratio performance for use in W-CDMA device and amplifier manufacturing offering typical figures of -68dBc at 5MHz and -75dBc at 10MHz.
The input attenuator on the MS2681A covers 0 to 62dB in 2dB steps, whereas the MS2687A covers 0 to 70dB in 10dB steps.
The MS2687A features a built-in power meter option.
Measuring only 320 x 177 x 411mm and weighing only 16kg, the MS2681A and MS2687A are believed to be the most compact and lightweight units on the market to offer such a high specification.
