News & Press Releases - [Main Index] Anritsu Company Introduces First Signal Analyser Integrating Fixed and Mobile WiMAX Measurement Capability 2006-11-06 --Building Off of Advanced Signature™ Platform, MS2781B Has Best-in-Class Dynamic Range and Measurement Speed over the 100 Hz to 8 GHz Frequency Range--Anritsu Company introduces the MS2781B Signature High Performance Signal Analyser, which is the first signal analysser to integrate a full suite of physical layer measurements of both fixed and mobile WiMAX signals. The MS2781B also delivers industry-best spectrum analyser measurement performance and speed for accurate analysis of advanced RF signals used in wireless communication networks. Equipped with the WiMAX option, the MS2781B can display a variety of measurements, including a constellation of a mobile WiMAX signal with 64QAM, 16QAM, and QPSK formats simultaneously, as well as BPSK pilots. The analyser’s residual Error Vector Magnitude (EVM) for WiMAX signals is 0.5% (-46 dB). Its demodulation bandwidth of up to 50 MHz supports capture and analysis of wideband digital modulation, including all WiMAX-specified bandwidths. The MS2781B provides unprecedented spectrum analyser performance as well as digital modulation analysis over the 100 Hz to 8 GHz frequency range. It delivers an unprecedented DANL (Displayed Average Noise Level) of -167 dBm without a preamplifier, as well as TOI (Third Order Intercept) of +22 dBm. The result is the best dynamic range of any signal analyser on the market. Such performance is achieved due to the MS2781B’s fundamental mixing approach that allows the entire frequency range to be measured in one sweep, without bandswitching or preselection.
Open Windows® Environment The Windows XP user interface also makes it much easier to test complex technology, as well as reduces mistakes. Familiar drop-down menus simplify measurement selection and menus are optimised for touch screen operation with single-click activation. Charting of data can be done directly on the analyser. Users can easily integrate measured traces into Excel, Word, and PowerPoint files for reporting purposes. “Smart” one button functions make testing easy. Most common measurements, including channel power, ACPR, and occupied bandwidth (OBW), can be made with a single key. The MS2781B has a DVD-ROM and CD R/W drive, and two USB interfaces on the front panel for enhanced connectivity. An additional USB port, as well as GPIB and Ethernet interfaces, are on the rear panel to provide more flexibility.
