The Anritsu MS8609A is a Digital Mobile Radio Transmitter Tester that combines a spectrum analyzer, a modulation analyzer, and a power meter in a single instrument. One tester supports all the measurements needed to develop and manufacture base stations and mobile stations, as well as to construct and maintain base stations. The modulation analyzer uses high-speed DSP to support all Vector Signal Analysis (VSA) functions.
The MS8609A is built for the development and manufacture of base stations and mobile stations and for the construction and maintenance of base stations. The 120 kbyte/s GPIB interface supports high-speed measurement on production lines, while the spectrum analyzer's 20 MHz resolution bandwidth readily supports measurement of wideband signals.
ValueTronics stocks and holds its own inventory in a 20,000 sq ft secure warehouse at 1675 Cambridge Drive in Elgin, Illinois. Every pre-owned unit is inspected and functionally verified in-house before it ships, while new units ship factory-sealed exactly as received from the manufacturer.

Important: Maximum input level: +20 dBm (100 mW), continuous average power; DC input: 0 Vdc.
Important: The dedicated measurement software (MX860901B W-CDMA, MX860902A GSM/EDGE, MX860903A cdma, MX860905A π/4DQPSK, etc.) is sold separately and is not included with the main frame; up to three measurement software options can be installed simultaneously and input signals can be selected from either RF or I/Q.
Important: Option 30 (LPF for 2 GHz Band Carrier Cut) and Option 08 (Pre-amplifier) cannot be installed simultaneously.
Important: MX860920A BER/BLER Measurement Software requires the MU860920A Demodulation Unit.
Important: Option 33 (High Accuracy Power Measurement) improves power measurement accuracy without using the internal power meter when the MX860901A W-CDMA measurement software is used.
