When configured with dedicated measurement software and hardware options, this single platform supports W-CDMA/HSDPA, GSM/GPRS/EGPRS, cdma2000 1x (IS-2000), cdma2000 1xEV-DO, PDC, and PHS/ADVANCED PHS terminal evaluation. Advanced DSP (Digital Signal Processing) and parallel-measurement technology reduce the time required for the production and testing of mobile terminals. The MT8820A is used for transmitter and receiver measurements of mobile terminals including call processing across the supported communication systems. Specific measurements include output power, modulation analysis, occupied bandwidth, spectrum emission mask, adjacent channel leakage power ratio, peak code domain error, frequency error, phase error, bit error rate, frame error rate, block error rate, and packet error rate. The platform also supports end-to-end communications testing with handsets, transmission and reception audio measurements, and W-CDMA video phone testing between two MT8820A units via Ethernet. ## Brand Heritage Anritsu is a Japanese precision measurement company with roots extending to 1895. Anritsu acquired Wiltron Company in 1993, integrating Wiltron's RF and microwave measurement technology and its North American commercial presence into the current Anritsu product structure. ## Accessories Supplied - Power cord, 2.6 m (1 pc) - CF card (64 MB), HB28B064C8H (1 pc) - PC card adapter, CA68ADP (1 pc) - MT8820A/MT8815A operation manual (CD-ROM), W2458AE (1 copy) ## Product Core & Specifications Category Specification Value General Frequency range 30 to 2700 MHz Max. input level +35 dBm Main 1 Main 1 input/output impedance 50 Ω Main 1 VSWR ≤ 1.2 (< 1.6 GHz), ≤ 1.25 (1.6 to 2.2 GHz), ≤ 1.3 (> 2.2 GHz) Main 1 connector N type AUX 1 output impedance 50 Ω AUX 1 VSWR ≤ 1.3 (at SG Output level: ≤ -10 dBm) AUX 1 connector SMA type Reference oscillator frequency 10 MHz Reference oscillator level TTL Startup characteristics ≤ ±5 x 10\-8 (at 10 min after startup, referenced to frequency 24 h after startup) Aging rate ≤ ±2 x 10\-8/day, ≤ ±1 x 10\-7/year (referenced to frequency 24 h after startup) Temperature characteristics ≤ ±5 x 10\-8 Reference oscillator connector BNC type External reference input 10 MHz or 13 MHz (±1 ppm), ≥ 0 dBm, 50 Ω, BNC type RF Signal Generator Frequency range 30 to 2700 MHz (setting range: 0.4 to 2700 MHz) Setting resolution 1 Hz Accuracy Due to reference oscillator accuracy Output level range \-140 to -10 dBm (Main 1), -130 to 0 dBm (AUX 1) Resolution 0.1 dB Output level accuracy ±1.0 dB (-120 to -10 dBm, Main 1, after calibration); ±1.0 dB (-110 to 0 dBm, AUX 1, after calibration) Non-harmonic spurious ≤ -50 dBc (at offset frequency ≥ 100 kHz, except Uplink frequency – Downlink frequency + 4.1825 GHz); ≤ -40 dBc \[spurious of (4.8 GHz – Downlink frequency GHz) GHz at ≥ 2.1 GHz\] Harmonics ≤ -25 dBc Uninterrupted level variation Variable range: 0 to -30 dB; setting resolution: 1 dB Others Display Color 8.4" TFT LCD, 640 x 480 dots External control (GPIB) Control from external host with main unit as device (excluding some functions such as power-on), no external device control GPIB interface functions SH1, AH1, T6, L4, SR1, RL1, PP0, DC1, DT1, C0, E2 Power supply Voltage / Frequency / Power 100 to 120/200 to 240 Vac (-15/+15%, 250 V max.), 47.5 to 63 Hz, ≤ 300 VA (with Option 01), ≤ 650 VA (with all Options) Dimensions W x H x D 426 (W) x 221.5 (H) x 498 (D) mm (excluding projections) Mass Weight ≤ 27 kg (with Option 01), ≤ 34 kg (with all Options) Environmental Operating temperature and humidity 0 to +50°C, ≤ 95% (no condensation) Storage temperature and humidity \-20 to +60°C, ≤ 95% (no condensation) EMC EN61326: 1997/A2: 2001 (Class A), EN61000-3-2: 2000 (Class A), EN61326: 1997/A2: 2001 (Annex A) LVD EN61010-1: 2001 (Pollution Degree 2) **Important:** Maximum input level: +35 dBm at Main 1 connector.
