With increasing use of the IoT in healthcare and medical applications, the internet of medical things is emerging to operate alongside the IoT in logistics, industry and consumer products, says Tomohide Yamazaki. The internet of medical things (IoMT) market is expected to grow significantly in the future, rising from $113bn in 2021 to reach $341.17bn by 2028, according to Global ...

For coastal and mountainous terrain, Anritsu has added an up-link interference measurement to its some of its portable 5G and LTE TDD testers. At issue are stray signals carried long distances into cells where they interfere with the TDD up-link. The company explained: For 5G networks with a coastal or mountainous terrain, RF down-link transmissions readily become subject to atmospheric ...

Anritsu has cut down its ME7873NR 5G New Radio RF conformance test system to create a bench-top ‘Lite’ model (right) supporting 5G sub-6GHz (FR1) TRx test cases. “ME7873NR Lite is an all-in-one tester,” said the company. “In comparison to the predecessor rack models, the lite model has stronger test performance at a reasonable price as a result of cutting the ...

For 5G FR1 network verification and interference hunting, Anritsu has added a 6GHz option to its MS2080A portable spectrum analyser. These units offer multiple instrument functions in the same unit, many of them pay-for add-on options, some time-limited – Electronics Weekly covered them in detail last October. 6GHz operation comes with option 0706. Later this year, in October, Anritsu released ...

Anritsu has introduced a portable 3GHz spectrum analyser with a 10inch display, measuring 290 x 212 x 96mm and 3.8kg for field, lab and manufacturing use. MS2070A has a dynamic range over 105dB at 2.4GHz and the optional pre-amplifier takes typical DANL to from -150dBm to -167dBm, coupled with a third-order intercept +11dBm. Typical level accuracy is ±0.5dB. “It can ...

Anritsu has created an anechoic chamber based antenna tester for 5G millimetre wave (mmWave) angle-of-arrival RRM (radio resource management) testing. It operates within the company’s ‘New Radio RF conformance test system’ (ME7873NR, see below and photo) “Evaluating user-equipment communications quality and connection stability at handover between base stations is a difficult technical challenge for mmWave mobile communications,” according to the ...

Anritsu has introduced a multi-functional spectrum analyser for field use. Covering 9kHz to 4GHz, MS2080A, as it is called, is suited to “interference hunting and 5G/LTE base station installation and maintenance”, according to the company. Measuring 290 x 212 x 96mm and 3.8kg, its battery is said to last more than three hours. Modulation bandwidth is 20MHz, with a 40MHz ...

Tektronix has tied up with Anritsu to create a tester for PCIe 6.0 (Base) receivers. “PCIe receiver validation is notoriously difficult due to the sensitivity of calibrating the stressed eye signal across a high loss channel,” according to Tektronix. The “receiver test solutions provide confidence that designs are thoroughly tested at the required bit error rate target. The step-by-step tools ...

Qualcomm has validated Anritsu’s MT8000A comms tester for sub-6GHz 5G NR small cells using Qualcomm’s 5G RAN platform and its QDART (development acceleration resource toolkit). “The Qualcomm FSM100 5G RAN Platform is a very capable 5G NR small cell solution that is used widely by mobile operators,” according to Anritsu. “The platform is designed to help OEMs reuse their software ...

ESZ has joined Anritsu’s certified service provider scheme, allowing it to calibrate certain Anritsu systems to DAkkS and ISO17025 in the EU. It will also offer functional testing, maintenance and repair. The contract currently covers: power meters, power sensors, signal generators, spectrum analysers (electronic and optical), vector network analysers, counters (and counter modules), short-range wireless testers, optical time-domain reflectometers, RF components including ...
