Cybersecurity testing in 5G automotive designs
Special instrumentation can help bullet-proof the communication equipment powering next-generation vehicles. Craig Hendricks, Anritsu Co. The roll-out of 5G is bringing a host of real-time Internet-of-Things (IoT) capabilities to automotive designs. Use cases such as enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB, high-data-rate use cases for 4G LTE and 5G NR services that allows a high data rate […]
Test software helps evaluate C-V2X PC5 communications technology
The LTE C-V2X PC5 Communications Software MX725000A provides engineers with a cost-efficient tool to evaluate products and systems utilizing PC5 of Cellular V2X (C-V2X) technology. The software links a communications reference module, V2X emulator software, and GNSS simulator to support evaluation of vehicle-to-everything (V2X) PC5 communications used in emerging vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) designs. […]
Portable 5G/Ethernet tester takes to the field
The MT1040A from Anritsu analyzes traffic on 5G, Ethernet and other optical and electrical networks.
Verifying 5G with OTA testing
The 5G realm puts a new emphasis on making measurements without hardwired connections. Adnan Khan | Anritsu Co. 5G systems are being rolled out globally, bringing with them throughput speeds of up to 10 Gbps, higher frequencies that extend into the millimeter wave (mmWave) spectrum, and devices operating in multiple radio access technologies (RATs). Engineers […]
Anritsu releases field and bench wireless test products
In recent days, test-equipment company Anritsu has introduced equipment for RF measurements in the field and software for its on the bench RF test set. The PIM Master MW82119B-0703 (datasheet)is a two-port, 700 MHz passive intermodulation (PIM) analyzer, a dual-function instrument that performs two-port RF PIM measurements by transmitting two continuous wave (CW) tones from…
Wireless test set upgraded with LTE-V2X functions for PHY tests
Two software options for the Universal Wireless Test Set MT8870A helps measure RF characteristics of 3GPP-compliant LTE-V2X (PC5) devices, facilitating the smooth rollout of cellular-vehicle-to-everything (C-V2X) commercialization. With the software, the MT8870A provides automotive chipset and module manufacturers with a cost-efficient instrument that can conduct accurate physical layer (RF) tests of V2X products and devices. […]
Test 802.11ax signal quality for transmitters and receivers
Given the need for ever-increasing Wi-Fi data rates and number of connections, IEEE 802.11ax builds on 802.11ac at the physical layer by adding support for both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz as well as denser modulation. That is, 1024 QAM to increase data rates. The so-called “Wi-Fi 6,” IEEE 802.11ax also adds orthogonal frequency-division multiple…

This year’s inaugural LEAP Awards competition honored ground-breaking new products that set a new standard for innovation. Judges rated candidates on categories that included societal impact, industry impact, technical sophistication, creativity, and […]
Instrumentation that measures differential noise in real time
We were recently able to speak with Pat Murray from Anritsu who demonstrated instrumentation that computes differential noise figure. Though noise figure is a well-known parameter, differential noise figure isn’t as commonly used. But it is becoming important for the verification of low-noise amplifiers (LNAs) and other devices used in the front-end of 5G and […]
