 Anritsu Corporation (TSE:6754), a global leader in communications equipment and measuring instruments, has announced the launch of its compact MS2720B Spectrum Analyzer series, the world’s first handheld analyzer to support all Regulation test items for installation and maintenance of W-CDMA base stations.
The MS2720B series is a small (313×211x77 mm), lightweight (2.9 kg max.), battery powered spectrum analyzer that builds on the success of its predecessor MS2720A with strengthened performance and functions. In addition to supporting measurements up to the microwave band, it can also perform optional modulation analysis of W-CDMA signals and high-accuracy power measurements. As a result, only one MS2720B unit is needed to support all the W-CDMA base station registration test items standardized by 3GPP. Battery operation and compact size make it the ideal solution for base station construction and maintenance inside buildings, underground spaces, etc., where AC power is not easily accessible and space is limited.
Increasing use of 3G mobile phone systems is driving widespread construction and maintenance of W-CDMA base stations. National agencies regulate the registration tests to ensure that W-CDMA base stations are built and maintained in compliance with the standards set by 3GPP.
Previously, on-site measurements of W-CDMA registration test items required carrying large desktop measuring instruments to base stations inside buildings or underground, etc., where space is limited and there is no power for the instrument. This makes the engineers’ work difficult, time-consuming and expensive. To solve this problem, Anritsu has built on its experience with the previous MS2720A series to release this new compact, battery powered, lightweight MS2720B series supporting all the W-CDMA base-station Regulation test items. It is the ideal solution for W-CDMA base-station registration work in confined, difficult-to-access construction and maintenance sites.
