Benchtop configuration supports GCF/PTCRB RF and protocol conformance tests

June 22, 2017

Richardson, TX. Anritsu has introduced the Simple Conformance Test System ME7800L, which offers LTE chipset, module, mobile terminal, IoT device, smartphone manufacturers, mobile operators, and test houses a cost-effective solution to conduct RF and protocol conformance tests from 3GPP specifications, including 36.523, 36.521-1, and 36.521-3. A GCF/PTCRB-approved test platform (TP160), the ME7800L and its supported test cases fill a market void for an economical method to confirm LTE mobile terminals can connect with global mobile networks, the company said.

The ME7800L supports terminal certification in applications where advanced, expensive functionality is not required. Its ability to conduct RF and protocol conformance tests simultaneously on a single platform provides engineers with cost and verification advantages. The RF conformance tests support TRx, performance, and RRM tests. The ME7800L is positioned to be used during the development and quality assurance (QA) stages of chipsets, modules, mobile terminals, IoT devices, and smartphones.

Leveraging the architecture of the Anritsu LTE-Advanced RF Conformance Test System ME7873LA and Mobile Device Test Platform ME7834LA, the ME7800L brings operability, reliability, and stability to economic environments that require basic tests. The popular ME7873LA/ME7834LA have proven track records in full RF and protocol conformance testing, respectively, and are used by carriers; chipset and device makers; and test houses globally.
