Tester checks multimedia broadcast performance
New option provides the world first suite of GCF-approved RF/RRM tests of MBMS functions for test and validation of HSPA mobile terminals.
Removing the TEC allows reduced package size, easier construction, lower power consumption and - most importantly - a substantial reduction in cost.
This new series will complement the existing Anritsu range of high power 400mW 14XXnm pump lasers.
The AF9Y Series is a coolerless 90mW cylindrical can offering wavelength stabilisation at either 974, 976 or 978nm.
Suitable for mini EDFAs this package style offers excellent heat dissipation qualities with a typical power consumption of only 0.4W at a case temperature of 70C and at maximum rated power output.
In Q1 2003 the output power of this device will be improved to allow improved mini EDFA performance.
