Anritsu launched the MT8000A Radio Test Station with various MX800010A software options, enhancing its capability for 5G device RF verification, especially for new 3GPP Release 17 features like the 6 GHz band (FR1) support and advanced modulation (1024QAM) and uplink (Tx Switching 2Tx to 2Tx) technologies, accelerating high speed 5G testing for devices using Sub-6 GHz and mmWave bands. This all in one solution covers RF, protocol, and beamforming tests, supporting RedCap (Reduced Capability) for IoT and enabling efficient testing for faster, higher-capacity 5G communication.

Key features

MT8000A Platform: A modular system for 5G chipsets and user equipment (UE) testing, supporting NSA/SA modes, FR1 (Up to 7.125 GHz), and FR2 (mmWave) bands.
MX800010A Software: Adds crucial functionalities for modern 5G testing.
6 GHz Band Support (Specific module): Enables RF testing for 5G FR1 devices in the 5.925 GHz to 7.125 GHz range, aligning with 3GPP Release 17.
3GPP Release 17 Enhancements: Supports 1024QAM (downlink) for increased data throughput and Tx Switching 2Tx to 2Tx (uplink) for better stability.
RedCap (Reduced Capability) Testing: Validates new 5G specifications for low cost, low power IoT devices.
Integrated Testing: Provides all in one support for RF, protocol, application and beam verification, reducing the need for multiple tools.
Beamforming/OTA Testing: Works with compatible anechoic chambers (like Anritsu’s MA8172A) for over the air (OTA) testing in mmWave frequencies.

Key Benefits

Accelerated Development: Simplifies and speeds up testing for new 5G features.
Comprehensive Coverage: Offers a single platform for FR1, FR2, and new technology verification.
Future Proofing: Aligns with evolving 3GPP standards and WRC-23 band assignments.
