Handheld base station analyzers make passive intermodulation measurements
PIM over CPRI software lets BTS Master MT8220T and MT822xB handheld base station analyzers make passive intermodulation (PIM) measurements from the ground for the first time. By eliminating the need for network operator installation and maintenance crews and contractors to climb the tower to test for PIM, the new BTS Master-based solution is a much […]
Signal analyzers get 5G NR software packages
Three software packages now run on the Antritsu Signal Analyzer MS269x series to support measurements of RF Tx characteristics of 5G New Radio (NR) base stations and mobile devices. Installing the 5G Measurement Software (MX269051A) and NR TDD sub-6-GHz options (MX269051A-011 and MX269051A-061) in the signal analyzers creates a cost-efficient and flexible solution for chipset […]
