Technologies

Anritsu provides cutting-edge solutions for telecommunications technologies ranging from indoor coverage mapping in small wireless systems to spectrum analysis and over the air testing in large wireless networks. Our complete solutions are designed to meet your ever-changing market needs.

Broadband Stimulus

The Broadband Stimulus initiative creates jobs, improves infrastructure and helps the American economy by bringing high-speed communications to unserved and underserved locations. Networks must be built out quickly and cost effectively. Fiber, coax or other connectivity must be deployed to the access level in remote areas where service could not be provided economically in the past.

Coverage and Interference Mapping

Assessing a signal environment to ensure proper deployment, installation and operation of wireless networks is no easy task. From natural obstructions such as mountains to man-made obstacles like wind turbine generators, signal integrity is one of the biggest concerns for wireless service providers, public safety users, LMR operations and government officials.

CPRI and OBSAI

Mobile traffic volumes are growing rapidly due to the spread of OTT video services (YouTube, Mobile IPTV, etc.). Consequently, so-called small-cell networks are being deployed to create a better communications environment by expanding available bandwidth per mobile terminal. In densely populated areas, the bandwidth per mobile terminal is inadequate and deployment of multiple small cells supports a better communications environment.

C-band Deployment and Testing

C-band spectrum is the perfect balance between low and high bands offering a good compromise between coverage and high throughput for 5G cellular networks. C-band frequency can cover wide distances and has expected peak data rates between 600 Mbps and 900 Mbps. Care must be taken to avoid interference with other RF systems in the same bands.

C-RAN

Massive network densification is required to support the surge in demand for mobile data and support of the Internet of Things (IoT). Future requirements will only be met if the implementation of the whole network is reconsidered, which is achieved by network virtualization in a C-RAN architecture.

FirstNet

Public safety professionals need reliable communications to aid them in their lifesaving missions. Many tasks today require broadband services, i.e. when these first responders need to access data-intensive applications, search databases, or share pictures and videos. There is a clear need for rugged, easy-to-use devices designed to meet public safety requirements, as well as provide advanced features and services that enhance their ability to do their jobs.

Interference Hunting

Interference hunting requires the ability to spot, find and fix a known interferer which is not always an easy task. Not only having the right tools, but the ability to properly identify the issue is key to interference hunting. As strange as it may sound, the first step to solving an interference issue is actually determining that there really is interference. Sometimes there are other issues at play that cause a communications system to work less than optimally but don’t actually involve an outside signal.

Land Mobile Radio (LMR)

Next-generation public safety communications will more than likely pair narrowband Land Mobile Radio (LMR) networks for voice with broadband LTE networks for high speed data. Ensuring these networks are properly installed and maintained is critical to ensuring mission-critical public safety communication and keeping the public safe. The Anritsu S412E LMR Master is the only solution on the market today that provides a quick, easy, and cost-effective means of verifying the operation of both narrowband LMR and broadband LTE networks, and when necessary, diagnosing problems.

LTE

LTE (Long Term Evolution) is a standard for wireless broadband communications for mobile devices and data terminals, based on the GSM/EDGE and UMTS/HSPA standards. The challenge for wireless device developers is to offer the right services and be able to support a variety of systems to ensure their devices can connect globally on any mobile network.

Passive Intermodulation (PIM)

PIM is a growing issue for cellular network operators. PIM issues may occur as existing equipment ages, when co-locating new carriers, or when installing new equipment. PIM can create interference that will reduce a cell’s receive sensitivity or even block calls. This interference can affect both the cell that creates it, as well as other nearby receivers.

Positive Train Control (PTC)

PTC ACSES is an important addition and mandate for rail safety that will prevent train-to-train collisions, protect against speeding, and enforce speed restrictions. With the Congressional mandate to have PTC ACSES systems fully compliant and functional by December 31, 2020, it is important for railways to perform tests to ensure their deployments meet all requirements.

Remote Spectrum Monitoring

Interference detection and spectrum monitoring is used to characterize spectrum occupancy. Using a spectrum monitoring system facilitates the identification and removal of illegal or unlicensed interference signals. By monitoring spectrum on a continual basis, problem signals can be identified as they occur in real time.

Shockline NLTL

Nonlinear Transmission Line (NLTL) technology has historically been used for pulse shaping applications and in digitizing oscilloscopes. Over the years it has proven itself to be a highly credible, robust technology. It has been refined by Anritsu for high-frequency use, and complemented with novel monolithic broadband directional bridges, multiplexers, and other key components.

Signal Integrity

Today's signal integrity engineers are challenged to meet high data rates, due to increasing demand for data generated from cloud computing, smart phones and LTE services. The need to minimize costs, and close the loop of simulation and measurement are essential. Fortunately the latest Vector Network Analyzer and Signal Quality Analyzer technologies can provide a solution to these challenges.
