MW8209A PIM Master
Anritsu has introduced the MW8209A PIM Master, a passive intermodulation (PIM) analyser that covers the 900MHz band to measure PIM in E-GSM networks, including UMTS Band VIII and LTE Band 8.
Designed for use with Anritsu handheld analysers, the MW8209A comes with Anritsu’s Distance-to-PIM technology, which the company claims is the only tool on the market that can determine if the cause of PIM is at the base station or in the surrounding environment.
Anritsu claims that field engineers and technicians can use the MW8209A to help ensure optimum performance of UMTS Band VIII and LTE Band 8 networks by locating PIM faults before intermodulation distortion adversely affects signal transmission.
The analyser is designed to be integrated with handheld instruments from Anritsu, including the S332E/S362E Site Master cable and antenna analysers; MS2712E/MS2713E and MS272xC Spectrum Master handheld spectrum analysers; MT8212E/MT8213E Cell Master handheld analysers; and the MT8221B/MT8222A BTS Master handheld analysers.
