First Handheld Solution for Measuring WiMAX in the Field Introduced by Anritsu Company.-- MT8222A BTS BTS - Bug Tracking System Master[TM] Now Tests Fixed WiMAX Signals, in Addition to Offering Cable and Antenna Analysis, Spectrum Analysis, and Power and Interference Measurements -- MORGAN HILL, Calif. -- Anritsu Company introduces Fixed WiMAX (802.16-2004) test options for its MT8222A BTS Master that make the analyzer the first handheld field solution for measuring WiMAX. The Fixed WiMAX test options, for RF measurements and demodulation demodulation: see modulation. See demodulate. (communications) demodulation - To recover the signal from the carrier. For example, in a radio broadcast using amplitude modulation the audio signal is transmitted as the mean amplitude of a , expand the analysis capability of the BTS Master, which already features cable and antenna analysis, spectrum analysis, power meter, interference analysis, Bit Error Rate Tester (BERT (Bit Error Rate Test) An analysis of network transmission efficiency that computes the percentage of bits received in error from the total number sent. ), 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 ACPR Adjacent Channel Power Ratio ACPR Ariel Center for Policy Research (Israel) ACPR Adjacent-Channel Power Rejection ACPR Adjacent Channel Protection Ratio ACPR American Crossbred Pony Registry ACPR Advanced Core Performance Reactor , and RF summary screens. The Fixed WiMAX Demodulator See demodulate. Demodulator A device used to recover the original modulating signal from a modulated wave. A demodulator is also known as a detector. option analyzes OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) A digital transmission technique that uses a large number of carriers spaced apart at slightly different frequencies. signals and displays detailed measurements for evaluating transmitter modulation performance. All the inherent advantages of the BTS Master design, including a large display, lightweight (9 pounds) and durability, are brought to Fixed WiMAX measurements because of the new options. The BTS Master's popular Pass/Fail Mode can be used with the options as well. With this feature, technicians can select a test procedure and the BTS Master displays the test results in table format with clear PASS or FAIL indications that include min/max thresholds and actual measured results. Anritsu's Master Software Tools can also be used with the Fixed WiMAX options. The comprehensive data management and analysis software allows custom tests to be created and downloaded into the BTS Master to ensure performance of a WiMAX network. The BTS Master combines the functionality of a cable and antenna analyzer An antenna analyzer (or noise bridge, or RX bridge) is a bridge where two legs are frequency-dependent complex-valued impedances by impedance matching these legs. When the two impedances are the same the bridge will be balanced. , spectrum analyzer, power meter, interference analyzer, channel scanner, transmitter analyzer, bias tee and T1 analyzer. In addition to Fixed WiMAX analysis, it can conduct WCDMA/HSDPA and GSM/GPRS/EDGE RF and demodulation, and WCDMA/HSDPA Over the Air (OTA (Over The Air) Refers to any wireless system such as AM/FM radio and network television that uses open space as its transmission medium. ) measurements. The Fixed WiMAX RF Measurements option price starts at $1,250 and the Fixed WiMAX Demodulation option starts at $4,950. The base MT8222A BTS Master's price starts at $18,950. Delivery is 6 to 8 weeks. About Anritsu Anritsu Company (www.us.anritsu.com) is the American subsidiary of Anritsu Corporation, a global provider of innovative communications test and measurement solutions for more than 110 years. With its recent acquisition of NetTest, Anritsu provides solutions for existing and next-generation wired and wireless communication systems and operators. Anritsu products include wireless, optical, microwave/RF, and digital instruments as well as operations support systems Operations Support Systems (also called Operational Support Systems or OSS) are computer systems used by telecommunications service providers. The term OSS most frequently describes "network systems" dealing with the telecom network itself, supporting processes such for R&D, manufacturing, installation, and maintenance. Anritsu also provides precision microwave/RF components, optical devices, and high-speed electrical devices for communication products and systems. With offices throughout the world, Anritsu sells in over 90 countries with approximately 4,000 employees. For more information, please visit www.us.anritsu.com. |
