Anritsu has introduced the MT8850A tester to offer manufacturers of Bluetooth modules comprehensive, one-button testing traceable to national standards.
Signature is part of Anritsu's portfolio of test solutions for digital mobile communications.
The new option is part of the latest 3.0 version software enhancements to the groundbreaking Signature signal analyser that has redefined the high-end signal analyser market.
Its advanced receiver architecture provides exceptional performance over the 100Hz to 8GHz frequency range.
Amplitude accuracy is better than 0.65dB, intermodulation distortion (TOI) +27dBm, and displayed average noise level (DANL) is better than -157dBm with 0.1Hz bandwidth.
Demodulation bandwidth of up to 50MHz supports capture and analysis of wideband digital modulation.
With the WCDMA/HSDPA option installed, Signature supports a comprehensive set of measurements specified by the Third-Generation Partnership Project (3GPP).
Signature's Windows XP user interface makes it much easier to test the complex WCDMA/HSDPA technology and reduces mistakes.
For example, familiar dialogues simplify measurement selection, and menus are optimised for touch screen operation with single-click activation.
A rich set of graph capabilities supports quick viewing of results.
The intuitive "graph type" dialogue allows multiple measurement windows, for full analysis of measured data.
Signature's open Microsoft Windows environment provides unmatched ease-of-use and supports a seamless interface to Matlab from The MathWorks.
Designers of software defined radios (SDRs) or radios with new or unique modulation techniques can view live measurement results, post-processed by Matlab.
The MS2781A Option 30, WCDMA/HSDPA modulation quality measurements is available in 8 to 10 weeks ARO.
