easyTest Tools (eTT)
easyTest Tools allows users to Create work instruction files on their PC, Deliver these files by e-mail, and then Display work instructions on supported instruments and modes. These easyTest™ files provide step-by-step instructions for both the test setup and instrument operation.

easyMap Tools (EMT)
easyMap Tools™ provides maps in formats that Anritsu's handheld spectrum analyzers can use for either coverage mapping or interference hunting. It helps users find and prepare geo-referenced maps and building floor plans for use by Anritsu handheld Spectrum Analyzers.

Applications

Convenient operating procedures, high sensitivity, excellent repeatability, and exceptional performance enable the MS2720T to simplify measurements on wireless systems for easy verification of system compliance. Typical applications include:

  • Transmitter Spectrum Analysis–occupied bandwidth, channel power, adjacent channel power ratio, and modulation
  • Received Signal Analysis–location and identification of in-band interference and out-of-band spurious signals, and spectral masks
  • Signal Strength Mapping–to determine the most suitable location for antennas, base stations, and repeaters
  • Field analysis of 3G and 4G Signals–fast sweep speed, field-swappable high capacity battery, smart measurements, and daylight-viewable display make the MS2720T an ideal choice for the challenges of rugged environments
  • Broadcast measurement–AM & FM analog proofing measurements
  • Interference Mitigation in many diverse situations including wireless patient telemetry in hospitals
  • Burst Detect captures 200 μs bursts the first time, every time.
  • PIM Hunting mode is optimized for finding external IM products in conjunction with the MW82119B PIM Master
  • Two-port measurement of filters, attenuators, amplifiers, and cables using a tracking generator up to 20 GHz
