Anritsu Cell Master MT8213E compact handheld base station analyser

The Cell Master MT8213E compact handheld base station analyser with good noise and RF performance and 10 MHz demodulation bandwidth has been released. It is suitable to test and verify the performance of installed 2G/3G/4G networks, including LTE, GSM/EDGE, W-CDMA/HSDPA, WiMAX and CDMA/EV-DO.

The Cell Master MT8213E integrates a 6 GHz two-port cable and antenna analyser and 6 GHz spectrum analyser, as well as a power meter, interference analyser, channel scanner, T1, E1 and T1/T3 backhaul analysers in a robust, lightweight design.

Field technicians can conduct a full set of measurements, and cable and antenna tests include RL, VSWR, cable loss, distance-to-fault, phase and power. Sweep speed is typically 1 ms/data point.

When in spectrum analyser mode, users can measure occupied bandwidth, channel power, ACPR and carrier-to-interference ratio. The analyser can also provide spectrograms, signal strength, RSSI and signal ID. It has a dynamic range of >95 dB in 10 Hz RBW, DANL of -152 dBm in 10 Hz RBW and phase noise of -100 dBc/Hz max at 10 kHz offset at 1 GHz.

The daylight-viewable 8.4″ touch screen allows users to display results in single or dual mode.

It has two USB ports and a power sensor is connected to the analyser.

It is compatible with the company’s Master Software Tools that allows acquired data to be transferred to a computer for report generation, data analysis and testing automation. Measurements can be saved as .DAT and are compatible with HHST.
