CTIA 2012: Testing For MIMO LTE Signals And Uplink Interference
Description
On a mission during CTIA 2012 to understand chip, base station and device testing, RCR Wireless News visits with Anritsu's David Bolan.
Did you know an indoor cell jammer can bring a cell site down? Armed with an e-series test kit from Anritsu, RF technicians can, for up to 72 hours, continuously monitor signals to locate harmful, intentional interference on uplink.
How do field operations personnel validate MiMo technology is working properly? The Anritsu higher end test equipment measures quality of LTE MiMo signals from multiple base stations.
"We believe we have a full line of portfolio [products] that meets needs of installation and maintenance technicians, everything you need for commissioning base stations from the cable antenna analyser to quality of signals and downlink coverage" said Product Marketing Manager for Anritsu's Microwave Measurement Division. "We can go all the way up to 43 Ghz on spectrum analysers to also test high frequency microwave radio links that are being used more prevalently in backhaul systems of wireless networks"
