BTS Master™ Base Station Analyzer Features

Overview

Introduction
The BTS Master MT8221B and MT8222B are high-performance
handheld base station analyzers that have been specifically
developed to support the emerging 4G standards as well as
installed 2G, 3G and WiMAX networks. The MT822xB platform
introduces:

• 20 MHz LTE modulation quality testing
• Vector Signal Generator (400 MHz to 6 GHz) for

comprehensive receiver testing

• 30-MHz Zero-Span IF Output for external demodulation of

virtually any other wideband signal

The BTS Master features over 30 analyzers in one to meet

virtually every measurement need. Standard features are:

• 2-port Cable and Antenna Analyzer: 400 MHz to 4/6 GHz
• Spectrum Analyzer: 150 kHz to 7.1 GHz
• Power Meter: 10 MHz to 7.1 GHz

A user can select from many options including:

• High Accuracy Power Meter
• Interference Analyzer
• Channel Scanner
• 3GPP Signal Analyzers

LTE, GSM/EDGE, W-CDMA/HSDPA, TD-SCDMA/HSDPA

• 3GPP2 Signal Analyzers

cdmaONE/CDMA2000 1X, CDMA2000 1xEV-DO

• IEEE 802.16 Signal Analyzers

Fixed WiMAX, Mobile WiMAX

• Backhaul Analyzers: E1, T1, T3/T1

Signal Analyzers have three methods for verifying the

performance of a base station transmitter by measuring:

• RF Quality
• Modulation Quality (10 MHz standard, 20 MHz optional)
• Downlink Coverage Quality

Meeting Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
Degradation in KPIs, such as dropped call and/or blocked

call rates due to a malfunction at the cell site or due to

interference, can be easily and accurately diagnosed down to

the base station field replaceable unit (FRU) or the offending

interfering signal with the BTS Master.

Line Sweep Tools (LST)
LST is a PC program that post processes Antenna, Cable, and
PIM traces. It provides a powerful trace analysis and report
generator for line sweepers.

Master Software Tools (MST)
MST is a PC program that post processes spectrum analysis
traces collected on your instrument. It provides a powerful
data analysis tools for spectrum clearing and interference
monitoring.

With Anritsu’s design know-how and demanding production
testing and performance verification you can count on the
BTS Master to give you years of reliable dependable service.
