Coverage Mapping
There is a growing demand for low cost
coverage mapping solutions. Anritsu’s
Coverage Mapping measurements option
provides wireless service providers, public
safety users, land mobile ratio operators,
and government officials with indoor and
outdoor mapping capabilities.
Outdoor Mapping
With a GPS antenna connected to the
instrument and a valid GPS signal, the
instrument monitors RSSI and ACPR levels
automatically. Using a map created with
Map Master, the instrument displays maps,
the location of the measurement, and a
special color code for the power level.
The refresh rate can be set up in time
(1 sec, minimum) or distance.
The overall amplitude accuracy coupled
with the GPS update rate ensures accurate
and reliable mapping results.
Indoor Mapping
When there is no GPS signal valid,
the BTS Master uses a start-walk-stop
approach to record RSSI and ACPR levels.
You can set the update rate, start location,
and end location and the interpolated
points will be displayed on the map.
Export KML Files
Save files as KML or JPEG. Open KML files
with Google Earth™. When opening up
a pin in Google Earth, center frequency,
detection method, measurement type,
and RBW are shown on screen.
Map Master™
The Map Master program creates maps on
your PC compatible with the BTS Master.
Maps are created by typing in the address
or by converting existing JPEG, TIFF, BMP,
GIF, and PNG files to MAP files. Utilizing the
built-in zoom in and zoom out features, it is
easy to create maps of the desired location
on your PC and transfer to the instrument
with a USB flash drive. Map Master also
includes a GPS editor for inputting latitude
and longitude information of maps from
different formats.
