Signal analyser upgrades tackle RF crowding
Anritsu has enhanced the MS269xA signal analyser with four new functions, including spectrogram and spurious emission measurement functions.
Anritsu's MD8480C signalling tester - the industry's only commercial platform covering all HSDPA categories, and with full testing capability at speeds up to 14.4Mbit/s - will debut its HSUPA testing capability.
The market-leading 3G basestation simulator will offer customers the ability to test UEs from Release99 through to R5 and R6, in one platform.
The new HSUPA capability has been achieved based on reuse of software scenarios already deployed on the MD8480 platform, thereby protecting the existing customer investments.

Anritsu will be showcasing its award-winning MasterQuest IP Service KPI, a data-warehouse-based application that allows wireless operators to monitor, analyse and troubleshoot network and service performance in GPRS and UMTS networks.
As high revenues in GPRS and UMTS networks are driven by the large range of services, such as MMS, WAP, HTTP and e-mail, it becomes crucial to quickly detect network issues and make preventive actions before they impact end user services.
MasterQuest IP Service KPI is the cost-efficient tool to help operators investigate service quality and optimise the availability of network resources across wireless packet switched networks with historical and real-time visibility while reducing operational expenses as a result of simplified monitoring of complex converged networks.
Anritsu will be previewing its new MD8391A compact RNC simulator, weighing in at less than 10kg.
The product will bring further cost and efficiency benefits to infrastructure developers, manufacturers, and network operators who are implementing HSDPA and other features of 3GPP Rel 5 through automated measurement software.
Thanks to Anritsu's extended simulator portfolio, end-to-end network testing, monitoring and loading can now be fully implemented at a fraction of the cost of a live network.
This means that customers can dramatically reduce time to market and increase return on investment.
Anritsu will also be prelaunching its latest solution for cost effective testing of the SGSN portion of the network.
The solution uses the MD1230B data quality analyser Ethernet platform with additional load generation software.
With the introduction of HSDPA and HSUPA technologies and the requirement for mobile IP, data traffic is expected to increase tremendously in the next few years.
Load testing of this traffic has historically been carried out using the live traffic in the network.
Now, with Anritsu's SGSN load generator, network infrastructure vendors and operators achieve time and money savings, by load testing at the development stage, rather than on a live network.
