The Anritsu MS8608A Digital Mobile Radio Transmitter Tester is a comprehensive testing solution equipped with an internal spectrum analyzer, modulation analyzer, and power meter. This single tester covers the complete lifecycle from development and manufacturing of base stations and mobile stations to construction and maintenance of base stations.

• MS8608A supports 9 kHz-7.8 GHz with high power inputs up to +40 dBm
• MS8609A supports 9 kHz-13.2 GHz with input power up to +20 dBm

The spectrum analyzer features resolution bandwidths up to 20 MHz, enabling reliable measurements of wide-band signals. The modulation analyzer implements all Vector Signal Analysis (VSA) functions through high-speed DSP. The integrated power sensor delivers highly accurate power measurements of ±0.4 dB using an amorphous power sensor.

Up to three measurement software options (including 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, with balanced or unbalanced input options available for I/Q signals.

• Excellent performance for evaluating W-CDMA modulation signals, ideal for development and manufacture of W-CDMA radio transmitters
• Supports GSM/EDGE, HSDPA, WLAN/802.11, CDMA, 1xEVDO, and Pi/4DQPSK measurements
• Built-in spectrum analyzer with wide dynamic ranges: 68 dB (typical for 5 MHz offset) and 75 dB (typical for 10 MHz offset) for adjacent channel power measurement
• New average detection mode enables high-accuracy measurement of signal power with noise-like spreading modulation
• Built-in power meter with amorphous power sensor for high-accuracy (±0.4 dB) power measurements

Each tester can be equipped with optional GPIB, RS-232C, and 10BASE-T Ethernet interfaces for remote measurement. High-speed GPIB data transmission of 120 kbyte/sec enables efficient measurement on manufacturing lines. The unit features an easy-to-view TFT color LCD monitor.
