MS8608A and MS8609A are transmitter testers equipped with an internal spectrum analyzer, a modulation analyzer and a power meter. Just one tester can cover the development and manufacturing of base stations and mobile stations, as well as the construction and maintenance of base stations.
The spectrum analyzer has resolution bandwidths up to 20 MHz, meaning that it can readily support measurements of wide-band signals. The modulation analyzer realizes all Vector Signal Analysis (VSA) functions through high-speed DSP. The power sensor can perform highly accurate power measurements of 0.4 dB by using an amorphous power sensor.
Up to three measurement software options (such as W-CDMA, GSM/EDGE, HSDPA, WLAN/802.11, CDMA, 1xEVDO) can be installed simultaneously. Input signals can be selected from RF or I/Q inputs. For I/Q signals, balanced or unbalanced input can also be selected.
Each tester can be equipped with optional GPIB, RS-232C, and 10BASE-TEthernet interfaces for remote measurement. High-speed GPIB data transmission of 120 kbyte/sec enables high-speed measurement on the manufacturing line. The monitor uses an easy-to-see TFT color LCD.
