Anritsu Corporation (President Hirokazu Hamada) is pleased to announce that Korean operator LG U Plus (LG U+) has decided to use Anritsu’s Network Master™ Pro MT1000A supporting speeds up to 100 Gbps for 5G service. LG U+ is promoting the expansion of mobile backhaul and fronthaul networks for 5G services using the MT1000A.

Anritsu Company announces the submission of the industry’s first Protocol Conformance Tests defined by TS38.523 to 3GPP RAN5 working group for approval. These tests are based on mmWave (FR2) path for 5G New Radio (NR), Non-Standalone (NSA) mode devices. Anritsu successfully passed the test cases using the ME7834NR Protocol Conformance Test Platform in conjunction with a Snapdragon 855 Mobile Platform and Snapdragon X50 5G NR modem family from Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., a subsidiary of Qualcomm Incorporated.

Anritsu Company introduces 64-Gbaud PAM4 Pulse Pattern Generator (PPG) and 32-Gbaud PAM4 Error Detector (ED) modules supporting 400GbE and Over 400G bit error rate (BER) tests for its Signal Quality Analyzer-R MP1900A BERT.

Anritsu Company introduces the PIM Master™ MW82119B-0600, a 600 MHz field passive intermodulation (PIM) analyzer to verify installation of LTE at 600 MHz cell sites currently being deployed. Leveraging the industry-leading performance of the PIM Master platform, the new model supports 600 MHz PIM measurements generated by IM3 and IM5 products and has a second built-in 1900 MHz-receiver port to measure PIM generated by third harmonic products falling in the 1900 MHz PCS bands.

Anritsu Company introduces two 5G New Radio (NR) TDD sub-6 GHz IQproducer™ software packages for its Vector Signal Generator MG3710A and Signal Analyzer MS2690A/MS2691A/MS2692A series with a vector signal generator installed. The new software provides engineers developing and manufacturing 5G NR mobiles terminals and wireless communications equipment with a solution that speeds time-to-market and lowers test costs.

Anritsu Company introduces PIM over CPRI software for its BTS Master™ MT8220T and MT822xB handheld base station analyzers that allow passive intermodulation (PIM) measurements to be made 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 more cost- and time-efficient tool for ensuring optimal operation of wireless networks.

MediaTek Incorporated Inc. and Anritsu Corporation have agreed to forge a partnership for 5G development and physical layer verification. MediaTek Inc. selected Anritsu’s Radio Communication Test Station MT8000A as a prioritized test platform for the verification of standard-based 5G NR chipsets targeting upcoming global 5G deployment.

Anritsu Company introduces the industry’s first solution capable of conducting extensive characterization of the differential noise figure of differential devices used in high-speed wireless communication systems. The solution, which integrates a new differential noise figure option into the Anritsu VectorStar™ vector network analyzers (VNAs), allows R&D engineers to verify the receiver performance of low noise amplifiers (LNAs) and other devices used in the front-end of 5G and microwave back haul systems.

Anritsu Company introduces 2x2 MIMO Measurement Software MX886200A-010 that extends the measurement capability of its Wireless Connectivity Test Set MT8862A. With the software installed, the MT8862A is the world’s first solution that supports output signal quality, transmit power, receiver sensitivity, and 2x2 MIMO measurements on IEEE802.11ac WLAN equipment under actual operating conditions, giving engineers greater confidence in their designs.

Anritsu Company enhances its Network Master™ Pro MT1000A to support 100 Gbps with Ethernet Common Public Radio Interface (eCPRI) and IEEE 1914.3 Radio over Ethernet (RoE), as well as high-accuracy delay measurement functions. With the new firmware installed, the MT1000A can be used by mobile operators, communication network installation companies, and communications equipment vendors to efficiently and effectively install and maintain 5G networks carrying eCPRI/RoE traffic.
