Radio Transmission Measurement Suite tests base station quality.
Press Release Summary:
Used with MT822xB BTS Master(TM) and MS272xC Spectrum Master(TM) handheld analyzers, TD-LTE RF Measurement Suite measures RF, modulation, and over-the-air parameters of TD-LTE eNodeB radio transmitters. Suite enables users involved in deployment of LTE networks to test, verify, and report on base station transmitter quality and coverage. With measurement option installed, analyzers can measure channel spectrum, power vs. time, adjacent channel leakage ratio, and spectral emission mask.
Original Press Release:
First TD-LTE Measurement Suite for Handheld Analyzers Introduced by Anritsu Company
-- Comprehensive Measurement Capability Allows Users to Test, Verify, and Report on TD-LTE Base Station Transmitter Quality and Coverage --
MORGAN HILL, Calif., -- Anritsu Company introduces the first measurement suite for handheld analyzers that measures the RF, modulation, and Over-the-Air (OTA) parameters of TD-LTE eNodeB radio transmitters. Designed for use with Anritsu's industry leading MT822xB BTS Master(TM) and MS272xC Spectrum Master(TM) families, the measurement suite provides carriers, network equipment manufacturers, third-party contractors, and installers involved in the deployment of LTE networks with a comprehensive handheld test instrument to test, verify, and report on base station transmitter quality and coverage.
With the TD-LTE RF Measurement option installed, the MT822xB and MS272xC can measure channel spectrum, power vs. time, Adjacent Channel Leakage Ratio (ACLR), and Spectral Emission Mask (SEM). An RF summary can be displayed so users can view all results on the instrument's large display.
Field technicians and engineers can use the TD-LTE Modulation Measurement option to conduct constellation measurements and control channel power tests. The modulation summary displays reference signal power, sync signal power, EVM, frequency error, cell ID, and PBCH power.
Measurements that can be conducted with the TD-LTE OTA Measurement option include cell ID, group ID, sector ID, and synch signal (S-SS) power for the six largest signals. It also displays S-SS dominance. The five strongest signal measurements - reference signal power, sync signal power, EVM, frequency error, and carrier frequency - can also be displayed.
Rugged Handheld Instruments
Providing frequency coverage up to 43 GHz, the MS272xC Spectrum Master series provides the broadest frequency range ever available in a handheld spectrum analyzer. The MS272xC series is also designed with an assortment of applications to test the RF physical layer, making it easier than ever to monitor over-the-air signals, locate interferers, and detect hidden transmitters.
The need to carry heavy benchtop spectrum analyzers into the field to measure signals above 20 GHz, such as those used in microwave backhaul applications, is eliminated with the MS272xC. To further lighten the load, the MS272xC Spectrum Master is integrated with a spectrum analyzer, and can be configured with a channel scanner and interference analyzer to conduct all common field measurements.
The BTS Master MT822xB is ideal for senior cell site technicians and RF engineers to accurately and quickly test and verify the installation and commissioning of base stations and cell sites. When it comes to meeting key performance indicators (KPIs), BTS Master is the all-in-one instrument that helps users quickly resolve problems.
