1.1 General
The MT8801C Radio Communication Analyzer is a measuring-instrument platform
that consists of the hardware components necessary for testing mobile telecommuni-
cation terminals. Using the MT8801C along with the optionally available measure-
ment software allows you to evaluate the performance of mobile telecommunication
equipment with efficiency.
By using measurement software MX880201A, you can use the MT8801C as an inte-
grated measuring instrument (hereafter called this analyzer) that can evaluate the
functions and performance of the mobile telecommunication equipment conforming
to CDMA.
This analyzer is provided with such measurement functions as digital and analog mo-
bile-station (MS) control, transmission measurement, and reception measurement.
This analyzer alone can test the CDMA dual-mode mobile station for transmission
and reception.
The MT8801C provides a general-purpose analog measurement function.
For the IS-95A, TSB74, and J-STD-008 standard, enables the controlling a analog
mobile station.
The option 07: Spectrum analyzer provides a general-purpose 10-MHz to 3-GHz
spectrum analyzer function.
Measurement functions offered by this analyzer are as follows:
• Mobile station control:
A mobile station can be set for the following standard-specified measurement by
performing call processing.
US: 800 MHz cellular (IS-95A, TSB74 standard)
US: 1.9 GHz PCS (J-STD-008 standard)
Japan: 800 MHz cellular (ARIB STD-T53 standard)
Call Processing of registration, origination, termination, conversation, loop-back
(service option 2), frequency channel change, MS release, NW release etc. can be
conducted.
• Transmission measurement: IS-95A/TSB74/J-STD-008/ARIB STD-T53-specified
digital modulated signals (e.g., carrier frequency, RF level, modulation accuracy)
can be measured.The analog modulated signals (e.g., modulation degree, distortion
ratio etc.) can also be measured.
• Reception measurement: The frame error rate can be measured by outputting a
modulated signal using loop back. This enables the reception performance of the
mobile station to be measured based on the measured frame error rate.
The AF level and SINAD cab also be measured. This enables the reception perfor-
mance of the analog mobile station to be measured.
This analyzer is equipped with a high-speed digital signal processing technology, al-
lowing you to carry out transmission and reception measurements quickly and with
high accuracy.
