Anritsu has announced that its ME7873L RF/RRM Conformance Test System has been approved for more than 80% of RF/RRM conformance test cases by the Global Certification Forum (GCF) related to LTE-Advanced TD-LTE Carrier Aggregation. This approval provides mobile terminal and chipset manufacturers, test houses and mobile operators with a comprehensive test solution for verifying products implementing the TD-LTE technology. The ME7873L is one of the most comprehensive conformance test system on the market. As a general requirement test systems must obtain GCF approval for at least 80% of test cases as a condition for terminal certification by GCF. In January 2014, the ME7873L became the first solution to achieve this certification approval for better than 80% of its FDD-LTE Carrier Aggregation test cases.
The ME7873L test platform assures the compliance of LTE/LTE-Advanced terminal RF Tx and Rx characteristics and performance with the 3GPP standards. It supports the LTE/LTE-Advanced RF/RRM conformance tests and is being used for carrier acceptance inspection tests in North America, Asia, and Japan.
