The Anritsu MT8862A Wireless Connectivity Test Set is a benchtop instrument designed for measuring the RF transmit and receive characteristics of WLAN equipment. It uses standard WLAN protocol messaging — referred to as WLAN signalling — to establish a network connection with the device under test before performing RF measurements. This Network Mode capability, together with support for Direct Mode, is the central architectural feature of the platform.
Anritsu identifies the MT8862A's intended applications as design verification and manufacturing inspection of WLAN devices, with end-customer device types including smartphones, tablets, smart appliances, wearable devices, gateways, automotive electronics, and smart grid equipment. The instrument supports both AP-side and STA-side testing: it can simulate an access point to test station-mode devices such as smartphones and PCs, or simulate a station to test access points, routers, and gateways. Over-the-Air (OTA) test setups using anechoic and reverberation chambers are also supported, with Anritsu noting alignment to CTIA and Wi-Fi Alliance CWG recommendations for Total Radiated Power and Total Isotropic Sensitivity measurements.
Anritsu Corporation traces its origins in Japan to 1895 and entered the North American RF and microwave market significantly through its 1990s acquisition of Wiltron, the U.S. network analyzer specialist. Today Anritsu operates as a global precision measurement company headquartered in Atsugi, Japan, with strong installed bases in wireless infrastructure, cellular base station test, and avionics radio test.
