The test set is successor to the company’s MP2100A and provides more efficient evaluation of multichannel Optical Modules. Data Centres are urgently increasing the transmission capacity of their servers and network devices to meet the exploding demand for Cloud Computing services.

The ECOC exhibition will provide the stage for Anritsu to demonstrate its recently released 64Gbps test platform for engineers investigating the latest Signal Integrity, Modulations, high speed PAM4 (pulse amplitude modulation) transmission techniques intended for use in 200Gbps and 400Gbps communications links.

A CPRI RF Measurement option for its BTS Master handheld base station analyser family has been introduced by Anritsu. It can reduce the operational expense (OpEx) associated with troubleshooting interference at base stations. The BTS Master-based CPRI RF measurement test set allows field engineers and technicians to conduct accurate RF measurements on Remote Radio Heads (RRHs) while remaining at ground level.  

The introduction of its Remote Spectrum Monitor ushers in a new era of field wireless testing, claims Anritsu. Designed without a display or keyboard, Remote Spectrum Monitor automates the method of conducting radio surveillance, interference detection, and government spectrum policy enforcement while bringing greater flexibilities and cost efficiencies to network management.

New functionality has been added to Anritsu’s MD8475A network simulator, to provide the first laboratory hardware in the loop system level test for the European eCall systemand Russian ERA/GLONASS system. With vehicle safety at the forefront of automotive testing and development, ensuring the quickest response from emergency services in the event of a traffic accident could save millions of lives.

Integrated channel fading simulation has been introduced into its 4G LTE-Advanced Signalling Tester, the MD8430A by Anritsu. The new digital baseband fading options convert the MD8430A into a full-featured fading simulator supporting industry standard 3GPP-defined fading profiles.

SkyBridge Tools is a cloud-based trace judgment solution for tower and in-building Distributed Antenna System (DAS) installations developed by Anritsu. It reduces costs and improves ROI. Serving as a data warehouse for contractors who are installing or modifying equipment for network operators, SkyBridge Tools saves time, reduces rework, and makes timely payment more likely by automating the trace judgment process.

Following the successful launch of world’s first LTE 3CC Carrier Aggregation OTA measurement solution in December last year, Bluetest and Anritsu have integrated the new Anritsu Radio Communication Analyser MT8821C and Bluetest’s recently released 5th generation OTA Reverberation Test System RTS65.

The MP1800A Signal Quality Analyser from Anritsu has been enhanced by the addition of the MP1861A MUX and MP1862A DEMUX modules. These will expand the functions of the MP1800A 32G BERT to support 56G and 64G BER measurements required for evaluating high-speed serial transmission devices, such as SERDES. When used in conjunction with the MP1800A, the two new modules support a generation of NRZ Data and BER measurements up to 64.2 Gbit/s.

Intermodulation Distortion (IMD) options for the VectorStar platform have been introduced by Anritsu. The options expand the measurement capability of the VNA family to meet the needs of design and production engineers who must conduct highly accurate and efficient IMD measurements on their amplifier designs.

The ShockLine family of affordable vector network analysers (VNAs) from Anritsu has been extended with the Performance ShockLine MS46500B series. It lowers cost-of-test and speeds time to market in numerous testing applications up to 8.5GHz, including designing and manufacturing mobile network equipment, mobile devices, automotive cables, high-speed data interconnects and system integration components.

The MT8821C is a new Radio Communication Analyzer from Anritsu for research and development testing of mobile devices (User Equipment, UE) with the widest capability for supporting LTE-Advanced. The analyzer also operates as a network simulator supporting LTE, W-CDMA/HSPA, GSM/GPRS/EGPRS, TD-SCDMA/HSPA, and CDMA2000 1X/1x EVDO technologies to run RF TRX tests in compliance with the 3GPP and 3GPP2 standards, as well as parametric tests.

Important enhancements have been added to Anritsu’s portable MT1000A Network Master Pro and MT1100A Network Master Flex family of all-in-one transport network testers. The enhancements include the support of CPRI/OBSAI and RFC 6349 TCP throughput testing, Optical Transport Network (OTN) multi stage mapping for OTU3/4, a powerful remote operation tool and support of a Video Inspection Probe.

The VectorStar ME7838A4 4-port broadband vector network analyser (VNA) system from Anritsu features the world’s widest differential broadband sweep from 70 kHz to 110/125 GHz and utilises the smallest mmWave modules to conduct highly stable and fast measurements when characterising differential devices.

The complexities of the modern automobile continue to increase, with more and more technology being added to support communications applications and safety features. These technologies result in increased vehicle production costs for the manufacturer as well as increasing the cost of ownership.
