Base Station Testing
The base station is at the core of your RF wireless installation. It’s where you make the connections for your cables, antennas, transmitters and receivers. And it’s where most problems can occur that can affect performance through component failures, wireless interference or incorrect installation or maintenance. The result can be unacceptable downtime for your networks, and time-consuming work to fix the problem by your field techs.


Anritsu's Base Station Central is here to help. We've gathered a variety of technical resources to help you track problems, educate your people, look up terminology and much more. You’ll also find product specs for a full line of base station testers, cable and antenna analyzers, spectrum analyzers and accessories. As the leader in the field, Anritsu makes the largest variety of high quality base station analyzers and peripheral equipment designed for reliable operation that saves you time and money.


However, you don’t have to use our products to benefit from the materials on this site since many of the measurements are universal. So please bookmark this site and come back often whenever you need specs for test and analysis equipment for GSM, W-CDMA, HSPDA, CDMA, EV-DO, WiMAX and TD-SCDMA as well as such applications as line sweeping, DTF (Distance-To-Fault) measurements and vector signal analysis.

PSN50
High Accuracy Power Sensor (Average) - 50 MHz to 6 GHz

The High Accuracy Power Meter is designed to provide accurate power measurements from 50 MHz to 6 GHz for many products in the Anritsu catalog. The PSN50 is currently compatible with Site Master, Cell Master, Spectrum Master, BTS Master, VNA Master, and the MS271xB Economy Microwave Spectrum Analyzer instruments.

As an overview, the PSN50 sensor provides true RMS measurements from -30 dBm to +20 dBm enabling users to make highly accurate power measurements for both CW and digitally modulated signals such as GSM/EDGE, CDMA/EV-DO,WCDMA/HSDPA, WiMAX, and TD-SCDMA. Accurate power measurements in the field are important for verifying that transmitter outputs are operating at specified levels. For example, service technicians need to verify base station output power because lower output power can quickly translate into large coverage differences that can cause dropped calls.

For the products that support USB, the sensor easily connects to the instrument via a USB A/mini-B cable. These supported USB instruments include the BTS Master, Spectrum Master (MS272xB), VNA Master, and MS271xB Economy Microwave Spectrum Analyzer instruments. An additional benefit of using the USB connection is that a separate DC supply is not needed since the necessary power is supplied by the instrument.

In contrast, the instruments with an RS-232 serial interface require an external DC supply in addition to the RS-232 serial cable. These RS-232 instruments include the Site Master (S331D/S332D), Spectrum Master (MS2711D) and Cell Master (MT8212B) products.

The High Accuracy Power Meter (Option 19) is a software option that enables the desired instrument to interface with the power sensor.

Anritsu has worldwide calibration and service centers to ensure reduced downtime and local support. For customers who wish to self-calibrate and who have access to an appropriately equipped calibration laboratory, please see the PSN50 Technical Data Sheet for more information on our PSN50CalXpert software utility.

MT9090A
Network Master

Until now, the right tool just didn't exist for technicians to quickly and cost-effectively isolate network problems. Traditional, dedicated testers did the job but lacked the ability to be upgraded when new technologies were deployed. Likewise, more flexible platforms were too large, too expensive and too complicated.

The new, palm-size MT9090A modular platform from Anritsu finally addresses all of these needs. Users can interchange different modules to configure the MT9090A as an optical fault locator, CWDM optical channel analyzer or 10/100/1000 MB Ethernet tester. Operation is quite similar between modules so the user is immediately familiar with operation.


MA24106A
USB Power Sensor (Average) - 50 MHz to 6 GHz

The MA24106A power sensor is a USB power sensor that eliminates the need of a traditional power meter. It is a highly accurate, standalone instrument that communicates with a PC via USB. The power measurement capability of MA24106A is intended to mimic that of a traditional thermal (thermo-electric) power sensor with a wider dynamic range. Therefore, it is ideal for measuring average power of CW, modulated RF waveforms such as 3G, 4G, OFDM, and multi-tone signals. It measures true RMS power regardless of the type of the input signal. The presence of a micro-controller along with signal conditioning circuitry, ADC, and power supply in the sensor makes it a complete miniature power meter. The data display, acquisition occurs in the PC. The Anritsu Power Meter application for personal computers running Microsoft Windows™ can be used to control and operate the sensor. It is available standard with the product. The MA24106A is compatible with the MS272xB, MT8222A, MS202xA, MS203xA, and MS271xB instruments.

Presence of signal channel/analog signal acquisition HW and on-board (frequency as well as temperature) corrections eliminates the need for a reference calibration, simplifying the measurement process and reduction of test time in production.

For customers who wish to self-calibrate and who have access to an appropriately equipped calibration laboratory, please see the MA24106A Product Brochure/Technical Data Sheet for more information on our CalXpert™ software utility.

Signal Analyzer 50 Hz to 26.5 GHz

Signal Analysis will never be the same again

MS269xA Series Signal Analyzers are the latest high performance signal analyzers for next-generation communication applications. The MS269xA Series Signal Analyzer base units include swept spectrum analysis, FFT signal analysis, and a precision digitizer function. Add options to incorporate a Signal Generator, to turn the instrument into a hassle free, plug and play, one box solution.

The MS269xA Series Signal Analyzers support a standard analysis bandwidth of 31.25 MHz that can be extended to 62.5 MHz /125 MHz with optional hardware. Using a patented calibration process, the multipoint amplitude calibration and the phase calibration result in a level accuracy of ±0.5 dB across a 6 GHz span. No other analyzer on the market can meet that specification! These boxes are superlative in every way -- they measure the widest signals and using the latest technology, make measurements faster than ever before. The modular architecture ensures a box that grows as measurement requirements change.

A series of options enables standards-based modulation analysis, vector signal generation, and BER measurement. The end-user can configure a one-box solution that dramatically reduces cost, footprint, and Total Average Cycle Time (TACT) for device evaluation.

The MS269xA Series Signal Analyzers are accurate enough for the most demanding R&D environment, yet are fast enough for the factory floor! Currently supported applications include GSM, GPRS, EDGE, W-CDMA, mobile WiMAX, and LTE.

The wideband FFT signal analyzer (analysis bandwidth of 31.25 MHz with option for 62.5 MHz /125 MHz) supports high-speed continuous measurements including CCDF, frequency vs. time, spectrum, and power vs. time analysis. The standard digitizing function can capture waveforms and immediately play them out using the optional Signal Generator. An extended digitizer option adds the ability to capture signals up to 20 MHz wide for up to 4 hours.


MG3700A
Vector Signal Generator

Outline
The MG3700A Vector Signal Generator has a built-in, high-speed, arbitrary waveform baseband generator with a 160 MHz sampling rate. It supports a vector modulation bandwidth up to 120 MHz, has a large arbitrary waveform memory up to 2 GB, and outputs digital modulation signals for major mobile communications, including LTE FDD, LTE TDD, Mobile WiMAX, digital broadcasting ISDB-T/ISDB-Tmm, wireless LAN, GPS, etc.


MP2100A
BERTWave

The MP2100A is an all-in-one BERT and EYE/Pulse Scope solution for evaluating optical active devices in optical communication systems.
To meet the need for the fastest possible measurement speeds on production lines for active optical devices, the Gating Time has been slashed by 90% compared to conventional BERT equipment using remote commands and the EYE/Pulse Scope function is 300% faster. In addition, measurement times are much shorter due to the simultaneous BER measurement and EYE pattern analysis.
