Anritsu Corporation has revealed that by improving the capabilities of its New Radio RF Conformance Test System ME7873NR Lite Model, a one-box tester offers both RF and protocol conformance testing for 5G communication equipment.
The 5G NR Mobile Device Test Platform ME7834NR Lite Model can be used for protocol conformance testing, while the ME7873NR Lite Model can be used for RF conformance testing when the Radio Communication Test Station MT8000A is set up as a one-box tester.
Testing for protocol conformance and radio frequency compliance previously needed distinct one-box testers with various hardware setups.
These new improvements optimize the capital expenditure needed for the conformance testing of 5G communication equipment by enabling conformance tests to be carried out with the same one-box tester and allowing application switching.
Product Outline
The ME7873NR Lite Model can test 5G communication equipment for RF conformance with just one MT8000A in its setup. The 5G FR1 TRx test and certain Perf and RRM tests with a restricted number of test items are now supported by the ME7873NR Lite Model thanks to this improvement.

Optimizes capital investment
Conformance testing can be done more affordably using a one-box tester arrangement and fewer test items. Consumers who purchase the MT8000A can test for RF/protocol conformance for very little additional cost. For complete compliance testing, the Lite Model can be upgraded to the full ME7873NR model.
-
Reduces test times
Comparing the simplified hardware configuration to the entire model configured from multiple measuring devices, test times are reduced by approximately 20%.
-
Supports conformance testing and device verification
Comparing the simplified hardware configuration to the entire model configured from multiple measuring devices, test times are reduced by approximately 20%.
