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 term, High Speed Packet Access (HSPA) was adopted by the UMTS Forum when referring to improvements to the UMTS Radio Interface in Releases 5 and 6 of the 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project) standards. HSPA refers to improvements made to the UMTS downlink, High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) and the uplink, High Speed Uplink Packet Access (HSUPA), also known as Enhanced Dedicated Channel (E-DCH).

Building on our experience with GSM & 3G test, we are the first company to offer a full suite of test instruments for accurately analyzing 3.5G High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) and High Speed Uplink Packet Access (HSUPA) devices, user equipment (UE) and networks.

We realized the potential of HSPA more than three years ago, and began to deploy the technology in 2002 with HSDPA measurement software for the MS8608A/MS8609A Digital Mobile Radio Transmitter Testers. Our partnerships with global telecom market leaders, and active participation with industry standards organizations has now produced a full range of test and measurement solutions being used by HSDPA equipment and chipset manufacturers, as well as by several of the world's major service providers to meet their announced goals of offering HSPA services.
