One-box tester does it all for 3GPP
The MT8820A is the first single box tester with comprehensive test capability, which also features call processing conforming to 3GPP standards.
GSM analyser gains speed and voice capabilities
Anritsu has introduced two new options for its MT8820A radiocommunications analyser.
The MT8820's single unit design enables cost-efficient development and manufacturing of mobile telephones and terminals - providing complex signalling as well as special test modes and occupies only one-third of the installation space that a conventional test system requires.
The MT8820A, one box solution for complete call-connection test and high speed RF transmission/reception characteristic measurement of mobile terminals, can now handle W-CDMA, cdma2000, 1xEV-DO, GSM, GPRS, E-GPRS, PHS and PDC.
As mobile telephone terminals evolve, voice and video data transmission capabilities will continue to improve.
Each software standard includes packet data and videophone testing where available and also provides higher data rate testing.
cdma2000 1xEV-DO (the expanded version of the CDMA2000 1x 3G communication standard) boasts high-speed (maximum 2.4Mbit/s) data transfer, which makes it a high priority among mobile telephone communication vendors and mobile terminal manufacturers focused on data communication.
E-GPRS, a standard that is currently being introduced in many parts of Europe and the rest of the world, has now been included to provide complete coverage for commercial data transmission standards being introduced globally.
With the development of the MT8820A, Anritsu is moving communication standards ahead, toward solutions requiring less investment in equipment, offering higher measuring efficiency, and expanding the mobile terminal market.
