The Anritsu MT8852B Bluetooth™ Test Set is the market leading RF measuring instrument for design proving and production test of a wide range of products that integrate Bluetooth™ technology, including; phones, headsets, computers, audio-visual and gaming products as well as modules. In production, a single key press initiates a measurement script that tests a device in less than 15 seconds.
The MT8852B Bluetooth™ Test Set is compliant with Bluetooth™ 1.2, 2.0, 2.1 + EDR, 3.0 + HS, 4.0, 4.1, 4.2 and 5.0 core specifications
As members of the Bluetooth™ Special Interest Group (SIG) since 1999, Anritsu has actively participated in the development of the standard from the first 1.0 core specification release through to the current 5.0 core specification release. The MT8852B Bluetooth™ Test Set builds on this experience to offer an optimized radio layer test instrument.
The MT8852B Bluetooth™ Test Set gives you a one-button test to fully characterize your Bluetooth™ implementation and ensure that your reputation for quality is maintained. Therefore you can ship products to your customers with confidence that they will work perfectly first time, every time.
The MT8852B can establish a link with the module under test and perform a comprehensive set of transceiver measurements in under 15 seconds. If the module address is unknown, MT8852B can read it through the module HCI (RS232 or USB), or perform an Inquiry. An integrated CW frequency counter can be used for crystal trimming. Module testing requires a test fixture, ideally in a shielded box, to interface the Bluetooth™ module to the MT8852B. The test fixture should provide a direct RF connection plus, if required, connection to the module's HCI interface.
There are 2 types of Bluetooth™ low energy devices, Dual Mode devices integrate Basic Rate, EDR and low energy functionality into a single chip while Single Mode devices support only the low energy standard. Mobile phones and PCs are expected to support the Dual Mode devices and sensors and peripherals will only support the low energy standard.
The MT8852B, with Option 27 - Bluetooth™ Low Energy Measurements, sends these test controls to the EUT to deliver fully automated testing. With the use of this integrated interface, the MT8852B can run a single test script that with a single key press can test the Basic Rate, EDR and low energy performance of a EUT.
For EUT transmitter tests, test controls sent from the MT8852B configure the low energy device to transmit test reference packets that are captured and analyzed by the MT8852B receiver.
Manufacturers need to prove the performance of both the Bluetooth™ and mobile phone radios. Test is typically a bottleneck in any mobile phone production line and so testing the Bluetooth™ interface must be performed with no increment to total test time. It is also vital to confirm that both radios can be active simultaneously without any interference between them.
Should the phone also include an 802.11b/g WLAN radio, the AFH feature of the MT8852B is ideal for validating that both radios can be used simultaneously without mutual interference. This option provides graphical displays of FER and masked channels when interfering signals are introduced, allowing optimization of hardware designs.
The MT8852B offers comprehensive testing facilities integrated within a Bluetooth™ wireless technology test set. Rear-panel jack-plug connectors provide analog inputs and outputs for all three audio channels.

The Wireless Connectivity Test Set MT8862A supports an RF performance measurement environment under realistic operation conditions (Network Mode).
The MT8862A Network Mode supports configuration of an RF measurement environment without test firmware, chipset control, and hardware modification.
Two connection methods between MT8862A and control PC:
The MT8862A DHCP Client function supports remote network access from an external PC controller for easy remote control and sharing one MT8862A between multiple users.
The MX886200A captures WLAN frames sent to and received from the DUT. Captured logs can be saved by the PC controller in pcap format for analysis by software such as Wireshark. This eliminates the need for a separate packet sniffer to capture WLAN frames and supports troubleshooting of WLAN frames in the RF measurement environment.

The Radio Communication Analyzer MT8821C is designed for R&D into mobile devices (User Equipment: UE), such as smartphones, tablets and M2M/IoT modules. It builds on the technologies of its popular predecessor, the MT8820C used worldwide by UE and chipset vendors. It operates as a base station simulator using standard call processing sequences compliant with test standards to support a versatile test lineup, starting with RF tests.
With the introduction of LTE-Advanced, wireless communications are starting to use Carrier Aggregation (CA) technology offering continuing extendibility to wider bandwidths and more frequency bands. Additionally, adoption of the latest in faster communications technologies, such as higher-order 4x4 and 8x8 Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) to improve frequency usage efficiency, means that measurement technologies are also becoming increasingly complex.

Better operability and visibility have been achieved using an enhanced next-generation GUI and easy-to-use large touch panel. As well as operating screens by touching and swiping, easy operation is supported by one-touch switching between grouped/individual graph lists and results outline/detail displays.
Further, the efficiency of complex setting work is improved by a parameter search function, bookmarking function for commonly used parameters, and a function for setting test parameters using one-touch button operation.
The UE TRX characteristics must be evaluated for compliance with 3GPP/3GPP2 standards at chipset and UE development, evaluation, and acceptance testing by network operators, etc. UE circuits are becoming increasingly complex as more communications technologies and frequency bands are supported; with built-in support for the UE RF TRX tests compliant with the various communications standards, the MT8821C is the ideal test solution whatever the measurement scenario.

With preset measurement parameters based on the 3GPP RF test standard cases, the MT8821C simplifies measurement. In addition, PASS/FAIL judgment of measurement results according to the test standard conditions is automated and results are confirmed at a glance.
Until now, LTE CA measurements have required complex Component Carrier (CC) settings, making operation difficult, but the MT8821C integrates multiple related parameters settings into one operation, greatly simplifying each operation stage to reduce setting operations and time.
For example, only the following three steps are required using the LTE measurement software to measure the 3GPP TS 36.521-1 6.5.2.1 Error Vector Magnitude (EVM):
3GPP RF Test Example
The MT8821C can be configured in an automated test system using either GPIB or Ethernet for remote control. Anritsu also provides the 3GPP RF test standard compliant automatic remote control sample tool.
Operation is as simple as selecting the required test case from RF test items in the remote control sample tool, so even new users can easily configure automated test environment.

The MT8870A Universal Wireless Test Set has been specifically designed for the high volume manufacturing test of all common cellular and short range wireless technologies. An MT8870A instrument mainframe can contain up to four MU887000A/01A TRx test modules, each capable of independent control by an external PC. Each module has an integrated Vector Signal Generator (VSA) and Vector Signal Analyzer (VSA) to perform both Transmitter and Receiver RF tests, including both Analog and Digital Audio Analyzer.
Up to four measurement modules can be installed in one main frame and each module can be controlled independently. The four installed modules share the same power supply, chassis, and internal bus interface, helping cut infrastructure costs.
With four TRx modules installed in one MT8870A main frame, the shared power supply, chassis, internal communications bus, remote controller, reference frequency oscillator, software license, etc., cut capital costs.
Whereas easy module swap-out cuts line downtime without having to send the whole unit for repair and an immediate changeovers takes only minutes.
Each MU887000A/01A TRX Test Module has two full-duplex and two half-duplex RF connectors.
The full-duplex ports incorporate dividers at the front end to support simultaneous tests in both TX and RX directions when testing typical wireless standards.
The half-duplex ports incorporate switches at the front end to switch between each test port when used either for TX or RX tests. These half-duplex ports have higher sensitivity than the full-duplex ports and are ideal for low-level wireless signals.
The TX measurement software packages and waveforms can each be licensed separately. One license can be used for up to four TRX test modules, cutting test equipment costs. A TX measurement software package is required for TX tests for each communication standard and a waveform is required for RX tests.
Since hardware specifications are shared by all MU887000A/01A TRx modules, new standards are easily supported by adding software licenses.
The Dual Core CPU, DDR3 memory and fast PCIe bus in each MU887000A/01A TRx Test module assure fast measurements independent of the external PC.
Rx test waveforms can be preloaded into 4-GB ARB memory, cutting reload times when switching wireless standards.
To provide future-proof frequency-band extendibility, the frequency band covers a wide range from 10 MHz at the lower end to 6 GHz (option) at the upper end.
The wideband (10 MHz to 6 GHz) signal generator and signal analyzer support easy and smooth extendibility for new wireless standards, unlike dedicated test set supporting only specific frequencies.
Note: Standard TRx module operates from 10 MHz to 3.8 GHz
The MU887000A/01A TRx Test Module is able to perform RF transmitter / receiver testing of the latest WLAN standard 802.11ac wireless modules
Usually, upgrading bandwidth requires extra costs for changing instruments, adding options, etc., but since the MU887000A/01A has a 160MHz wide bandwidth as standard, these extra costs are unnecessary.
The MU887000A/01A TRx Test module is able to support the RF (PHY) testing of both cellular (LTE, W-CDMA, GSM etc.) and Short Range Wireless (WLAN and Bluetooth™) receivers and transmitters.

With four modules installed in the MT8870A, four test devices can be connected and measured in parallel simultaneously. Different technologies can be measured in parallel, helping reduce both measurement times and line test equipment footprint.
For example: Two TRx Test Modules can be used to measure multiple wireless technologies in one smartphone. The multiple antennas for the various wireless technologies in the smartphone are connected all at one time to execute measurements in parallel, greatly reducing the problems of moving smartphones between test stations and re-booting time for smartphone.
The MT8870A is ideal for performing streaming measurements from each antenna under conditions closely mimicking a real usage environment at the R&D and design stages. There is no need for troublesome external cable connections, because the timing of each MU887000A/01A unit and the 10-MHz reference frequency are synchronized by the internal connections, offering easy True MIMO measurement.
By using FM TRx measurement capability, the built-in audio analyzer / generator is available to perform audio signal measurements. Support mono audio and stereo audio with analog interface or digital interface helping reduce the equipment footprint for wireless module manufacturing.

The MT8820C solution supports all tests ranging from RF parametric to UE function and performance tests.
Manufacturing and inspection test times have been dramatically cut by incorporating advanced DSP and parallel measurement technologies. Furthermore, several measurement items can be selected freely for batch measurement, and the number of measurements for each measurement item can be configured separately. The one-touch operation supports easy and quick measurement of Tx and Rx characteristics, including transmit frequency, modulation accuracy, transmit power, spectrum emission mask, adjacent channel leakage power ratio, occupied bandwidth, and BER.
When the Parallelphone™ Measurement option is installed in the MT8820C main frame, two different mobile terminals can be connected and tested simultaneously with a single MT8820C using its second RF, AF, GPIB, and Ethernet port.
This functionality significantly improves manufacturing efficiency by reducing production costs (return on investment and energy saving) and space.
All functions, performance, remote commands are backwards compatible with the MT8820A/B, so customers can easily retask control software and knowledge from the MT8820A/B.
