Anritsu
Model: ME7873L
ME7873L LTE RF Conformance Test System:
This testing platform is ideal for testing both transmitter and receiver characteristics of LTE mobile terminals.
This platform has been developed in guidelines with 3GPP TS 36.521-1. It also covers performance and inter-RAT tests(as per TS 36.521-3).
Inter RAT tests support LTE to other RATs and other RATs to LTE both.
The other RATs include GSM/UMTS/TD-SCDMA.
This LTE test platform supports GCF or PTCRB approved frequency bands. The LTE E-UTRA frequency bands supported are band-1 to band-25 and band-33 to band-41. Special request can be taken for providing support for the un-listed bands.
