Test & Measurement

Anodot has announced that MegaFon, Russia’s leading mobile phone operator, will be leveraging Anodot’s autonomous analytics to analyse and predict the impact of incidents on services for company subscribers. MegaFon, a leader in the telecommunications space and the largest fibre-optic network among Russian mobile operators, was the first operator in Russia to launch commercial operation of a third generation (3G) network and was the first operator in the world to launch commercial operation of an LTE-Advanced (4G) data network.

A 43.5GHz frequency option has been released by Anritsu for its 2- and 4-port ShockLine MS46122B, MS46322B, MS46522B, and MS46524B vector network analysers (VNAs) with guaranteed specifications using Anritsu’s Extended-K type connectors and components.

First field tests of network performance and quality from the end-user perspective on a live 5G NR network using commercially available 5G NR devices such as the Samsung S10 5G have been carried out by Rohde & Schwarz.

A quad-site mmWave 5G packaged test solution developed in collaboration with Tessolve and Johnstech was demonstrated by NI at the International Microwave Symposium in Boston. Addressing the technical challenges associated with 5G mmWave package part test, this solution helps reduce the time to market for manufacturers of mmWave 5G ICs.

South Korea’s leading mobile operator, KT Corporation, has selected the Anritsu Field Master Pro MS2090A RF handheld spectrum analyser to test the world’s first 5G nationwide network in the sub-6GHz band.

The PXIe-5831 vector signal transceiver (VST) from NI has been developed to further address time-to-market challenges for X-band, Ku-band and Ka-band radar and satellite communications (SATCOM) components and systems.

Two oscilloscopes launched by Tektronix on June 4 are now in stock at Farnell. After intensive research amongst users Tektronix developed the new 3 Series MDO and 4 Series MSO. The oscilloscopes are built upon the user experience introduced in the 5 and 6 series MSOs.

“So,” asked Tektronix of a cross section of engineers, “what do you want from a next generation, mid-market oscilloscope?” What they asked for Tektronix reckons it has delivered with the 3 Series Mixed Domain Oscilloscope (MDO) and 4 Series Mixed-signal oscilloscope (MSO).

FieldFox B-series is the next generation of Keysight Technologies’ multi-purpose spectrum analyser, delivering a bandwidth up to 100 MHz for wide-band, real-time spectrum analysis to enable 5G testing in the field.

The MicroScannerTM PoE from Fluke Networks is now being shipped by RS Components. This low-cost tester delivers a complete set of tools for maintenance engineers and technicians, enabling the fast installation and troubleshooting of Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) devices.
