Anritsu signs agreement with Bureau Veritas for 5G testing

It’s also using the test platform ME7834NR for protocol conformance testing and test system ME7873NR for RF/RRM conformance testing.

By adopting MT8000A with modular configurations, Bureau Veritas can construct stable test systems for both conducted and OTA environments.

The decision will assist Anritsu in obtaining GCF and PTCRB conformance test certifications, the firm says.

The MT8000A is a test platform for RF, protocol, and beam tests, as well as for beam-forming evaluations.

It covers the key frequency bands used by the first 5G services, such as the Sub-6GHz band (FR1) frequencies of 600MHz, 2.5GHz, 3.5GHz, 4.5GHz, and the mmWave band (FR2) frequencies of 28GHz, 39GHz, etc.

The ME7834NR test platform has both standalone and non-standalone test modes for supporting 3GPP TS 38.523 protocol tests.

Its OTA chambers and RF converters designed for 5G covers the frequency bands including sub-6GHz and millimetre-wave.

The ME7834NR is based on the ME7834LA, supporting protocol conformance tests of LTE, LTE-advanced (LTE-A), LTE-A pro, and previous W-CDMA communications terminals as well as mobile-operator acceptance testing.

Customers with these test systems can upgrade to 5G while still relying on their LTE-A test environment.

The ME7873NR is an automated test system for 3GPP TS38.521/TS38.533-defined 5G NR RF/RRM tests.

Combination with Anritsu’s OTA chamber covers all 5G frequency bands, including sub-6 GHz and mmWave.

A flexible system configuration allows customers to customize the ME7873NR for specific measurement conditions.

An upgrade path from the LTE-advanced RF Conformance Test System ME7873LA is available also.
