With a 5G base station emulation function, a single MT8000A test platform supports both the FR1 (to 7.125 GHz), including band n41, and the FR2 (millimeter-wave) bands used by 5G. Combining it with the OTA Chamber enables both millimeter-wave band RF measurements and beamforming tests using call connections specified by 3GPP. With the SmartStudio NR MX800070A, various functional tests by GUI operation only without requiring difficult scenario development are supported, also combining it with the Shield Box MA8161A supports functional tests in FR2 bands.
The leading-edge design with flexibility and scalability uses a modular architecture. As well as supporting 4x4 MIMO and 8CA implemented by eMBB (Enhanced Mobile Broadband), it provides a flexible environment for future 5G test requirements, including URLLC (Ultra-Reliable and Low Latency Communications) and mMTC (massive Machine Type Communications)
A comprehensive test environment is provided by making use of Anritsu's LTE test platform offering leading-edge functions based on the company's long experience in this market. Easy configuration of a linked environment for simulating 5G and LTE NSA (non-standalone) makes best use of measurement assets, such as the customer's test environment, test scenarios, etc.
In DSS, the spectrum is allocated to both 4G and 5G by the scheduler intelligently, depending on the requirements. This is a much more efficient use of spectrum.

The introduction of the LTE next-generation communication standard makes MIMO evaluation in a fading environment much more complex. Connecting the MF6900A Fading Simulator to the MD8430A Signalling Tester via dedicated digital interface to simulate a BTS greatly simplifies 3GPP LTE 2x2 MIMO and 4x2 MIMO fading tests
The MF6900A simulates fading using full digital baseband processing. As a result, high-reproducibility results are obtained using the same settings and complex MIMO power control settings are extremely easy and accurate. Moreover, complete elimination of all analog circuits supports easy maintenance and calibration-free stability.
One unit supports LTE 2x2 MIMO 2-cell or 4x2 MIMO tests and combination with the MD8430A Signalling Tester offers a simple test setup for intra-system LTE 2x2 MIMO handover or 4x2 MIMO tests
The MD8480C Signalling Tester for W-CDMA supports all-in-one LTE/W-CDMA inter-system handover tests (with MF6900A-001 option installed)
The MF6900A Fading Simulator uses a dedicated digital connection with the MD8430A/MD8480C. Elimination of internal RF circuits eliminates power control settings, and the simple display supports intuitive use
In addition, fading setting is made easy just by calling preset fading profiles from MD8430A and MD8480C test scenarios, allowing chipset and UE protocol developers to run tests transparently without a deep understanding of fading settings.
Moreover, auto-synchronization at MD8430A and MD8480C slow clock operation eliminates repeated fading setting.

The current worldwide proliferation of 3G mobile services is promoting increasingly high-speed data packet access in the mobile communications environment. W-CDMA-based systems are starting to use HSPA Evolution*1 to achieve high data transfer speeds while GSM-based systems are using EGPRS*2. Demand for high-speed data services by mobile users worldwide is driving development of mobile terminals (UE) that can secure optimum data throughput under any conditions.
The MD8480C W-CDMA Signalling Tester is a base station simulator with ideal protocol development and test functions for developing 3.5G W-CDMA UE supporting HSPA Evolution. It has an air interface conforming to 3GPP specifications as standard and supports a full range of applications and protocol tests, coding/decoding processing, protocol sequence testing (registration, origination, termination, handover), voice and data communications testing (circuit switch, packet switch), and UE end-to-end testing*3 for chipsets and UE.
Moreover, adding options for GSM/GPRS/EGPRS base stations supports Inter-RAT handover tests between 3G/3.5G and 2G systems. The MD8480C is the ideal instrument for developing increasingly popular UMTS UE and high-performance chipsets and UE for HSPA/ EGPRS*4.

All the world's main communications technologies, including triple-system LTE/W-CDMA/GSM mobiles and TD-LTE/TD-SCDMA/GSM as well as LTE/CDMA2000™ hybrids, can be tested using the all-in-one MD8475A/MD8475B (requires installation of optional units and software for each standard).
Other communication technologies includes W-CDMA/HSPA/HSPA Evolution/DC-HSDPA, GSM/(E)GPRS, CDMA2000™ 1X/1xEV-DO Rev. A. and TD-SCDMA/TD-HSPA. The MD8475A also supports VoLTE services and call-processing for multimode LTE devices.
Unlike earlier base station simulators requiring time-consuming creation of complex scenarios, the Anritsu SmartStudio interactive user interface eliminates the need to create scenarios, smoothing UE testing.
Smartphone development requires verification of existing functions. Testing of items that have already been tested many times over, such as voice tests and SMS sending/receiving, are automated using SmartStudio Manager to improve development efficiency.
A full line of test environments are supported for the general mobile verification phase, such as max. throughput performance tests, stress tests, and battery consumption tests of multisystem LTE mobiles using 2x2 MIMO, as well as CS-Fallback, call connection reliability and stability tests at handover, communication tests at low RF power, and service verification using LTE Multiple PDN and SMS in a 2-cell environment.
