Anritsu Corporation has launched a new RF Regulatory Test System ME7803NR solution for regulatory compliance testing of 5G communications systems.

The newly developed RF Regulatory Test System uses the Radio Communication Test Station MT8000A as a simulated 5G NR base station in combination with a spectrum analyser and signal generator to implement ARIB/ETSI/FCC-compliant FR1 RF tests. In addition, the measurement efficiency and quality of 5G terminals are assured by the easy-to-operate GUI and built-in calibration function for improved reliability. It is a platform that can perform spurious tests and interference tests, which are difficult for customers who want to build their own test environment.

The ME7803NR makes it easy to evaluate whether the RF performance of 5G terminals meets regulatory requirements, as well as simplifies evaluation of whether radio-waves are being used efficiently or not, helping 5G market penetration.

The system supports FR1 RF regulatory compliance tests of 5G NR terminals.  It is used with the Radio Communication Test Station MT8000A simulating a 5G NR base station, the Radio Communication Analyser MT8821C operating as an LTE anchor, and with various other test equipment and dedicated software to implement required 5G RF regulatory (ARIB/ETSI/FCC) conducted tests using 5G NR non-standalone (NSA) mode call connections.  The system supports regional frequency bands.
