Anritsu has launched its MW8209A PIM Master, apassive intermodulation (PIM) analyzer that covers the 900 MHz band to address the growing need to measure PIM in E-GSM networks, including UMTS Band VIII and LTE Band 8.
Designed for use with Anritsu handheld analyzers, the MW8209A comes with distance-to-PIM technology, which can determine if the cause of PIM is at the base station or in the surrounding environment.
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.
A unique feature of the MW8209A is its 40 W testing, compared to alternative methods that only measure at 20 W.
