Bluetooth tester takes on enhanced
datarates
The MT8852B Bluetooth test set is designed for high speed testing of new Bluetooth EDR products.
Anritsu has introduced the MT8852B Bluetooth test set, designed for high speed testing of the new Bluetooth Enhanced Datarate (EDR) products Bluetooth has established itself as the pre-eminent technology for wireless connectivity between a wide range of consumer products including mobile phones, PCs, PDAs and portable music players

Signal analyser upgrades tackle RF crowding
Anritsu has enhanced the MS269xA signal analyser with four new functions, including spectrogram and spurious emission measurement functions.
The Bluetooth Special Interest Group recently adopted a new release of the standard, Revision 2.0 EDR.
Bluetooth EDR delivers three times the datarate of earlier Bluetooth standards, and has resulted in sales of products with Bluetooth interfaces now estimated to be in excess of 10 million a week.
MT8852B performs the new radio layer measurements defined in the Bluetooth Revision 2.0 standard along with the basic rate measurements from a single "run" button key-press.
The introduction of the EDR standard brings new challenges for production testing as, for the first time, Bluetooth uses digital modulation.
To ensure reliable connections with other Bluetooth products, the MT8852B performs transmitter error vector magnitude (EVM) and receiver sensitivity tests at the higher datarates.
MT8852B has a typical test time of less than 10 seconds for new EDR products, meeting the demands of high volume manufacturing lines.
"The introduction of the MT8852B enables our customers to speed up the introduction of new products with Bluetooth EDR technology and increase the efficiency of their manufacturing lines", said Angus Robinson, Marketing Manager of Anritsu's European Measurement Division.
Anritsu have been at the forefront of testing Bluetooth products since the development of the technology in the late 1990s.
The introduction of the MT8852B builds on the success of the MT8850A series test sets, used worldwide in engineering development and high volume manufacturing.
