Anritsu adds DL 6CA Gigabit LTE evaluation functions to signalling tester MD8430A
Anritsu Corporation has added the long term evolution (LTE) DL6 carrier aggregation and the LTE UL 256QAM software options to its signaling tester MD8430Ato measure faster LTE-advanced pro (LTE-A Pro) communications speeds.
The MD8430A is an LTE-A Pro base station simulator for configuring a benchtop pseudo-network required to develop chipsets and data terminals. Adding these software options to extend the MD8430A functions supports world-first data throughput tests at up to 2 Gbps (DL) and up to 300 Mbps (UL) by using DL 6CA and UL 256 QAM at connections with LTE-A Pro terminals.
As well as supporting carrier aggregation (CA) for extending the communications bandwidth, the LTE-A prostandard uses multiple-input multiple-outpout (MIMO0 antenna technology to achieve communication speeds ranging from 1 to 3 Gbps while moving. Prior to full-scale deployment of 5G communications supporting multi-gigabit speeds, LTE-A Pro aims for a smooth transition from the current LTE technology to 5G with the following key tests for the mobile communications market.
