Anritsu ( News - Alert) Company, the American subsidiary of Anritsu Corporation, has launched the first Mobile WiMAX handheld test solution specifically designed for deploying, installing, and maintaining Mobile WiMAX ( News - Alert) networks.
The introduction of the Mobile WiMAX test and analysis capability continues Anritsu's commitment to providing test solutions designed to expedite the deployment of new technologies. Earlier this year, Anritsu introduced the world’s first handheld fixed WiMAX test solution.
The Mobile WiMAX test solution enables field engineers, technicians and contractors to conduct RF, demodulation, and Over-The-Air (OTA) measurements of WiMAX signals.
Its measurement capability has been designed into three options to provide users with flexibility. The RF Measurements option can be used to measure the transmitted signal strength and signal shape of a transmitter. When configured with the RF Measurement option, the handheld analyzers can conduct Channel Spectrum, Power versus Time (with 5 ms and 10 ms frame lengths), and ACPR measurements. RF summary screens can also be displayed with the option.
The Mobile WiMAX Demodulator is used to analyze OFDMA signals and display detailed measurements for evaluating transmitter modulation performance. The measurement screens that can be displayed as (QPSK, 16 QAM, 64 QAM), spectral flatness, EVM versus subcarrier,EVM versus symbol, DL MAP with automatic decoding, and modulation summary.
Also the channel power monitor measurement feature allows a specific channel's power over time and specified interval to be analyzed. This feature can be combined with a GPS feature so that measurement data can include GPS location and time data for plotting on a map.
