Anritsu’s VSG Evaluates Mobile WiMAX MIMO RX

Working with IQproducer software, the MG3700A vector signal generator (VSG) becomes the first VSG to evaluate the performance of Mobile WiMAX equipment based on the IEEE802.16e specifications. The instrument can generate any Mobile WiMAX waveform recommended by IEEE802.16e, including WirelessMAN-OFDMA, MAC, and PHY. A notable benefit, the unit supports Mobile Certification Wave2 and MIMO waveforms, both of which are critical for evaluating downlink (RX) functions. In addition to Mobile WiMAX, it also outputs standards-based digital modulation signals for GSM/EDGE, W-CDMA, CDMA2000 1X/1xEV-DO, IEEE802.11a/b/g, and ISDB-T1segment/BS/CS/CATV. Popular systems such as GPS, Bluetooth, and WLAN are also supported. Price for Mobile WiMAX IQproducer application software is $5,993. The base model MG3700A sells for $27,185.
