Anritsu and Bluetest have combined their recent product upgrades to create an Over-the-Air (OTA) measurement* solution in a MIMO environment for verifying RF performance in the tri-frequency bands of the latest WLAN standard (IEEE 802.11be).
This collaboration enables transmit power (Total Radiated Power, TRP) and receiver sensitivity (Total Isotropic Sensitivity, TIS) measurements in a 2×2 MIMO environment on devices supporting IEEE 802.11be.
The 2×2 MIMO RF OTA test solution provides an efficient evaluation test environment for high-end smartphones, AR/VR devices, and cloud-gaming device vendors. They can achieve higher data transmission speeds and lower latency through AI and other technologies by performing measurements in a highly repeatable environment that emulates real-world operation with the ultimate goal of ensuring end-user satisfaction.
Bluetest Product Manager Klas Arvidsson says: “For over a decade, Bluetest has collaborated with Anritsu to deliver top-tier Wi-Fi OTA testing solutions in line with industry needs. Efficient and straightforward MIMO measurements have always been a part of the Bluetest’s DNA. With the latest Anritsu Wi-Fi test solution and Bluetest’s Reverberation Test System, we together offer an indispensable and comprehensive tool for Wi-Fi radio R&D. “Keita Masuhara, Product Manager, IoT Test Solutions Div., Anritsu Corporation, adds “We are excited to collaborate with Bluetest to provide our customers with a significant enhancement to efficient performance testing. As the number of IEEE 802.11be devices increases, there will be a need for high performance in tri-frequency band operation with wideband in a 2×2 MIMO environment. We believe that this collaboration will greatly contribute to the development of this market.”
Test system details
Bluetest offers their pioneering OTA Reverberation Test System for various types and sizes of wireless devices, while the Anritsu Wireless Connectivity Test Set MT8862A provides IEEE 802.11be 2×2 MIMO device RF test capability, supporting the 2.4, 5, and 6 GHz bands and a 320 MHz bandwidth. This combination allows us to create a repeatable OTA environment with stable connections, enabling us to perform highly efficient 2×2 MIMO OTA tests.
