Anritsu MT8860C

AnritsuMT8860C WLAN Test Set  The AnritsuMT8860C is an integrated one-box test set dedicated to testing 802.11 WLAN devices. It provides a high-speed measurement solution that is ideally suited for design proving and production testing. The MT8860C provides two modes of operation: Network and Direct. In “Network” mode, standard WLAN signaling is used to test both the transmitter and receiver of a device under test (DUT). In “Direct” mode, the MT8860C tests the DUT receiver by automatically creating and transmitting WLAN packets, and measures the DUT transmitter by using a built-in transmitter Analyser. In Direct mode, the DUT must be controlled by the test mode software utility from the chipset vendor.The integrated test set design of the MT8860C replaces the spectrum Analyser, power meter, gold radio and attenuator of traditional test systems. This eliminates the need for interconnections between all the test system components that have to be calibrated out. The MT8860C provides a single calibrated test port for both transmitter and receiver testing. The integral reference radio does not suffer the drift and variability of existing gold radios, resulting in more stable test systems and improved quality of output.  Features of the AnritsuMT8860C WLAN Test Set Include:

Integrated test set for validating the RF performance of 802.11bgan devices operating in the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands

“Network” mode allows devices to be tested in a connection using standard WLAN signalling. 

“Direct” mode allows WLAN devices to be tested with the support of control software from the chipset vendor 

Built-in reference radio for calibrated Packet Error Rate (PER) measurements 

Built-in TX Analyser providing high-speed measurements including power, spectral mask and modulation accuracy (EVM)
