# Anritsu MT8213E Cell Master 6 GHz Compact Handheld Base Station Analyzer (Pre-Owned) # Anritsu MT8213E Cell Master 6 GHz Compact Handheld Base Station Analyzer (Pre-Owned) ## Key Features At A Glance - Three measurement tools in one: cable & antenna analyzer, spectrum/interference analyzer, and power meter - Spectrum analysis from 9 kHz up to 4 GHz (MT8212E) or 6 GHz (MT8213E) across the series - Cable & antenna measurements: Return Loss, VSWR, Cable Loss, Distance-to-Fault, and 1-Port Phase - Interference analysis with spectrogram, signal strength, RSSI, and on-map interference mapping - OSL, InstaCal, and FlexCal calibration; single or dual-measurement 8.4 in resistive touchscreen - SCPI programmable remote control over Ethernet and USB; Web Remote Control with Ethernet option - Optional licensed Signal Analyzers for LTE/LTE-A, GSM/EDGE, W-CDMA, TD-SCDMA, CDMA, EV-DO, and WiMAX - Daylight-viewable color touchscreen, ~3-hour Li-Ion battery, 3.71 kg (8.2 lb) handheld form factor The Anritsu Cell Master MT8212E and MT8213E are compact, lightweight handheld Base Station Analyzers designed for the installation and maintenance of wireless networks. Anritsu positions the Cell Master as a base station analyzer meeting virtually all the testing needs of an RF technician, combining a cable and antenna analyzer, a spectrum and interference analyzer, and a power meter in a single instrument, with Signal Analyzer options for 2G, 3G, and 4G cellular networks including LTE, WiMAX, and digital broadcast. A handheld base station analyzer brings several bench-class measurement functions into one field-portable unit so a technician can characterize a site without carrying separate instruments. The Cell Master is built around installation and maintenance tasks for wireless networks: line-sweeping feedlines and antennas, spectrum and interference work, coverage and interference mapping, EMF field-strength testing, T1/E1/T3 backhaul analysis, and digital broadcast measurement for ISDB-T and DVB-T/H. GPS information can be stored with traces for location-referenced results. ValueTronics stocks and holds its own inventory in a 20,000-square-foot secure warehouse at 1675 Cambridge Drive in Elgin, Illinois. Every used unit we sell is inspected and functionally verified in-house before it ships, while new units ship factory-sealed exactly as received from the manufacturer, so you know the condition of what arrives on your bench. ## Compare Other Models in This Series The Anritsu Cell Master is a compact, lightweight handheld Base Station Analyzer family built for the installation and maintenance of wireless networks. It combines a cable and antenna analyzer, a spectrum and interference analyzer, and a power meter in a single instrument designed to meet virtually all the testing needs of an RF technician working in the field. The series spans two models, the MT8212E and the MT8213E, which share the same measurement architecture and differ primarily in their upper frequency limit. Both can be expanded with Signal Analyzer options covering 2G, 3G, and 4G standards including LTE/LTE-A, GSM/EDGE, W-CDMA/HSPA+, TD-SCDMA, CDMA, EV-DO, and WiMAX, as well as ISDB-T and DVB-T/H digital broadcast and T1/E1/T3 backhaul analysis. Each model below links to its own dedicated pre-owned product page with condition-matched pricing. Select the model whose frequency coverage and installed options match your application, then choose the listing that fits your budget and availability. The core distinction between the two models is frequency range. The MT8212E covers cable and antenna measurements from 2 MHz to 4 GHz, spectrum analysis from 9 kHz to 4 GHz, and power metering from 10 MHz to 4 GHz. The MT8213E extends each of those functions to a 6 GHz ceiling: 2 MHz to 6 GHz for cable and antenna work, 9 kHz to 6 GHz for spectrum analysis, and 10 MHz to 6 GHz for the power meter. Beyond frequency coverage, the two models share the same touchscreen display, calibration methods, connectivity, and option list. The comparison table below summarizes the frequency tiers so you can match the instrument to the bands you need to test.
