The convergence of mobile communications and broadband Internet connections has created countless new opportunities and challenges for wireless telephony. This marriage of technologies has given birth to devices that are changing lives and changing business practices. Just as mobile devices are bringing together people...
For most of the wireless industry’s history, Europe has played an important role in shaping the technology path. And, in combination with parts of Asia has led the way in terms of the deployment and adoption of the latest and greatest. This has been...
As wireless services grow, interference, once uncommon, becomes a fact of life for wireless and broadcast services. A metropolitan area of a million people may have 1000 licensed two way radios, 600 cell sites, and 100 broadcasters. To this mix, add military, aeronautical, and...
Achieving the requirements for carrier aggregation detailed in Release 10 of the 3GPP LTE specifications is even more challenging given the fragmentation of the available cellular radio spectrum, particularly in North America. Learn about carrier aggregation testing implications for LTE-Advanced. This is an Anritsu...
Upgrading to a new network brings many advantages and benefits for wireless customers, but with it comes an extensive build out that brings dynamic challenges. It requires years of research and testing, along with countless upgrades and changes within the network itself. Quite honestly...
Sometimes finding a hidden signal can be very challenging, especially in cases where the signal is deliberately hidden in a way that makes it difficult to detect. High-performance spectrum analyzers help users detect and locate hidden signals. Their low phase noise and wide dynamic...
As the words "4G LTE" become increasingly attractive to smartphone buyers, carriers and handset makers are focusing on the tests that qualify their products as LTE-ready. The $2.8 billion global market for wireless test equipment is projected to more than double during the next...
Matthew Myers faces winds of up to 110 MPH atop a 12,000 foot mountain peak as he deploys, installs and maintains cell phone towers for Union Wireless in Colorado. When he heard about Anritsu Company's Toughest Site Competition, he knew his sites could qualify....
Modern handheld spectrum analyzers include tools that make them well-suited for tracking down interfering signals. This webinar will discuss the process of interference hunting starting with signal monitoring using a spectrogram, Interference mapping with directional antennas, and finally signal strength mapping both indoors and...
LTE eNodeB output power needs to be measured on a regular basis to provide the best possible user experience while complying with legal restrictions on maximum power output. This measurement is complicated by the fact that LTE channel output power is highly dynamic due...
Wireless industry heavyweights NTT DoCoMo, Alcatel-Lucent, Qualcomm, and Anritsu co-hosted a keynote on Long Term Evolution (LTE) implementation and its impact at Computex this week.
