As described in the manufacturer literature, the MT8000A consolidates RF measurements, protocol tests, and functional tests into a single hardware platform, with module configurations selected to match the specific test application. The system carries forward measurement know-how from Anritsu's prior generation of 4G test instrumentation into the 5G NR development environment. The MT8000A is used by engineering teams developing 5G NR mobile terminals, chipsets, and wireless devices. Specific applications named in the datasheet include 3GPP-compliant RF transmitter and receiver characterization, protocol layer testing across Layer 1 through Layer 3, encoding and decoding verification of 5G NR chipsets, OTA (Over The Air) RF measurements for mmWave devices, SAR (Specific Absorption Rate) testing in conjunction with phantom-based measurement systems, beamforming verification, IP throughput testing, handover testing across up to 8 cells, and fading channel emulation per 3GPP TS 38.521 channel models. Combined with the Radio Communication Analyzer MT8821C or Signalling Tester MD8430A as an LTE anchor, the platform supports 5G NR non-standalone (NSA) test configurations. ValueTronics International, founded in 1992, supports customers who depend on high-value RF and wireless test platforms like the Anritsu MT8000A. Our 20,000 square foot secure warehouse at 1675 Cambridge Drive in Elgin, Illinois, houses our inspection and test infrastructure as well as our inventory of new authorized-distribution and verified pre-owned RF instrumentation. For complex modular platforms like the MT8000A, where installed module and software-option configurations vary unit-to-unit, our team confirms the specific hardware modules and software licenses present on each instrument before quoting—so the configuration you receive matches the test scope you require. ## Brand Heritage Anritsu Corporation is a Japanese precision measurement company with origins tracing to 1895. Anritsu's position in RF and wireless test was significantly strengthened by its 1993 acquisition of the U.S. company Wiltron, which brought network analyzer and signal generator technology into the Anritsu portfolio. Anritsu continues today as an independent publicly traded company headquartered in Atsugi, Japan, with a strong presence in cellular infrastructure test, RF component characterization, and field RF measurement. ## Accessories Supplied - Power Cord (3.0 m, 100 V, 3 core) - 1 pc (J1211) - LAN Cable - 1 pc (J1440A) - MT8000A Operation Manual (DVD) - 1 pc (W3955AE) - Platform Software (MX800000A) ## Product Core & Specifications Parameter Specification Reference Oscillator Reference frequency 10 MHz Start-up characteristics ±5 × 10\-8 (3 min. after power-on.
