Better simulation of IP Multimedia Subsystem functions for 4G/5G terminal development
A Log Import option strengthens the IMS evaluation functions of the Anritsu Signalling Tester MD8475B base station simulator. Using the solution, live-network Wireshark logs are converted automatically to IMS scripts for easy configuration of an automated test environment to replay VoLTE/IMS faults when used with the IMS Basic Script option. Mobile terminal vendors and carriers […]
Vector signal analysis option for real-time spectrum analyzers
A new integrated Vector Signal Analyzer Application Mode for Complex Signal Analysis lets RF engineers characterize most of today’s complex RF modulation schemes including QAM and QPSK as well as ASK, MSK and FSK signals. The VSA Application gives engineers ability to utilize up to 13 integrated measurement functions including I/Q waveform and RF Envelope, […]
Fast interconnect analyzer reveals time- and frequency-domain details in a single acquisition
The WavePulser 40iX high-speed interconnect analyzer allows high-speed hardware designers and test engineers to characterize and analyze interconnects and cables for high-speed serial protocols such as PCI Express, HDMI, USB, SAS, SATA, Fibre Channel, InfiniBand, Gigabit Ethernet, and Automotive Ethernet. Until now, interconnect testing and validation has been bifurcated between time- and frequency-domain testing. For […]
Handheld combo spectrum/vector-network analyzer with 100 MHz real-time bandwidth targets 5G, EW testing
The next generation of the FieldFox B-series handheld analyzer delivers measurement precision and bandwidth up to 100 MHz for wide-band, real-time spectrum analysis to enable 5G testing in the field.
