Single instrument solution supports LTE-A 4×4 MIMO 2CCs evaluation
The increase in content-rich services, such as mobile video on demand, is driving deployment of the faster LTE-Advanced technology by network operators worldwide, which is made possible using key technologies such as Carrier Aggregation (CA), which aggregates several component carriers into one, and Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO), which uses multiple antennas for communications.
With the launch in 2015 of the DL CA 4CCs measurement software for the all-in-one MT8821C, Anritsu was the first test and measurement company to support the valuation of LTE-Advanced DL 4CCs 2×2 MIMO UE. The latest software release strengthens the functions of the MT8821C by adding the world’s first support for testing both LTE 4×4 MIMO DL UE now being released and LTE-Advanced DL CA 5CCs UE to be released in the near future.
As well as expanding the MT8821C measurement functions, the software packages also strengthen the easy-to-use GUI with enhanced parameter search features, a Throughput graph display function and a full range of selectable audio codecs for VoLTE Echoback along with a Video Echoback function.
