Anritsu has introduced Fixed WiMAX (802.16-2004) test options for its MT8222A BTS Master that make this analyser the first handheld field solution for measuring WiMAX, according to the company. The Fixed WiMAX test options, for RF measurements and demodulation, expand the analysis capability of its BTS Master, which already features cable and antenna analysis, spectrum analysis, power meter, interference analysis, bit error rate tester (BERT), channel scanner, and power monitor.
The Fixed WiMAX options make the BTS Master a single-instrument solution for engineers, technicians, and contractors responsible for the deployment of WiMAX networks. With the Fixed WiMAX RF measurements option, the BTS Master can measure the transmitted signal strength and signal shape of the selected BTS transmission. The option includes familiar channel spectrum, power versus time, ACPR, and RF summary screens. The Fixed WiMAX Demodulator option analyses OFDM signals and displays detailed measurements for evaluating transmitter modulation performance.
In addition to Fixed WiMAX analysis, it can also conduct WCDMA/HSDPA and GSM/GPRS/EDGE RF and demodulation, and WCDMA/HSDPA over the air (OTA) measurements.
