The Anritsu MT8821C Radio Communication Analyzer is a base station simulator designed for R&D testing of mobile devices including smartphones, tablets, and M2M/IoT modules. Building on the technologies of the predecessor MT8820C, the MT8821C uses standard call processing sequences compliant with 3GPP and 3GPP2 test standards to support a versatile test lineup starting with RF measurements. The instrument covers 30 MHz to 3.8 GHz as standard, with optional extension to 6.0 GHz via the MT8821C-019 option.
The MT8821C is used for UE TRX characteristic evaluation during chipset and device development, evaluation, and acceptance testing by network operators. Applications listed in the product literature include RF TRX measurement and calibration, Over-The-Air (OTA) testing of UE antenna characteristics, SAR (Specific Absorption Rate) testing, UE power consumption measurement, Inter-RAT and DSDA dual-mode UE operation confirmation, IP data throughput testing, VoLTE voice and video echoback testing, and end-to-end communication testing. The instrument also supports 5G NSA (Non-Standalone) testing when combined with the Anritsu MT8000A Radio Communication Test Station, acting as the LTE anchor.
Every MT8821C unit offered by ValueTronics is held and prepared at our 20,000 square foot secure warehouse at 1675 Cambridge Drive, Elgin, Illinois. ValueTronics has specialized in test and measurement equipment since 1992, with in-house technical staff who evaluate, document, and prepare each instrument before it ships. This is materially different from drop-ship resellers and broker listings: when you order an MT8821C from us, the instrument is physically present in our Elgin facility and has been handled by our team rather than forwarded sight-unseen from a third party.
Anritsu Corporation is a Japanese precision measurement company with roots dating to 1895. Anritsu acquired Wiltron Company in 1990, bringing Wiltron's RF and microwave measurement technology and North American commercial presence under the Anritsu brand. Anritsu's wireless communication test instruments are sold and supported globally under the Anritsu name from its headquarters in Atsugi, Japan.
