Anritsu has launched MT8821C, its new radio communication analyzer for research and development testing of mobile devices (user equipment, UE) with the widest capability for supporting LTE-Advanced.

As well as supporting LTE-Advanced, the all-in-one MT8821C operates as network simulator supporting LTE, W-CDMA/HSPA, GSM/GPRS/EGPRS, TD-SCDMA/HSPA and CDMA2000 1X/1x EVDO technologies to run RF TRX tests in compliance with the 3GPP and 3GPP2 standards, as well as parametric tests.

The easy-to-operate MT8821C makes setting and operation errors a thing of the past, simplifying configuration by using preset measurement parameters for test items specified by the 3GPP RF test standards. Additionally, parameters for all tests can be set and changed easily using the all new highly advanced Graphical User Interface, which includes touchscreen operation. The MT8821C supports additional functional tests, such as maximum throughput tests. www.anritsu.com
