All-in-One Support for RF Measurements and Protocol Tests in FR1 (to 7.125 GHz) and FR2 (Millimeter-Wave) Bands
- With a 5G base station emulation function, a single MT8000A test platform supports both the FR1 (to 7.125 GHz), including band n41, and the FR2 (millimeter-wave) bands used by 5G. Combining it with the OTA Chamber enables both millimeter-wave band RF measurements and beamforming tests using call connections specified by 3GPP. With the SmartStudio NR MX800070A, various functional tests by GUI operation only without requiring difficult scenario development are supported, also combining it with the Shield Box MA8161A supports functional tests in FR2 bands.
- With the Shield Box MA8161A, the MT8000A supports functional tests in FR2 (millimeter-wave) bands.

Flexible Platform using Modular Architecture
- The leading-edge design with flexibility and scalability uses a modular architecture. As well as supporting 4×4 MIMO and 8CA implemented by eMBB (Enhanced Mobile Broadband), it provides a flexible environment for future 5G test requirements, including URLLC (Ultra-Reliable and Low Latency Communications) and mMTC (massive Machine Type Communications)
Supports Existing LTE Test Environment
- A comprehensive test environment is provided by making use of Anritsu’s LTE test platform offering leading-edge functions based on the company’s long experience in this market. Easy configuration of a linked environment for simulating 5G and LTE NSA (non-standalone) makes best use of measurement assets, such as the customer’s test environment, test scenarios, etc.
Supports Dynamic Spectrum Sharing (DSS) Condition
- In DSS, the spectrum is allocated to both 4G and 5G by the scheduler intelligently, depending on the requirements. This is a much more efficient use of spectrum.
- The MT8000A can measure throughput under DSS at several NR/LTE allocation conditions.
