Anritsu and Samsung Electronics jointly conducted a connection verification using Samsung’s LTE modem and the MT8821C Radio Communication Analyzer. Samsung Electronics confirmed that they achieved DL 6CA (256 QAM) max throughput (1.2 Gbps) for its next-generation LTE modem successfully with Anritsu’s MT8821C Radio Communication Analyzer.
Carrier aggregation is a technology that secures a wide bandwidth and improves the communication rate, and service has already started in countries all over the world. Due to the number of users of smartphones/tablet terminals and the rise of rich content services, the spread of LTE-Advanced is continuously expanding. As non-standalone type 5G service to be operated in cooperation with the cellular system is scheduled to be launched in 2019, introduction of 1 Gbps service which further accelerates the current LTE-Advanced is being planned, and Samsung is proactively proceeding the LTE-Advanced function DL 6CC CA during the process of their development.
The MT8821C Radio Communication Analyzer is designed for R&D of mobile devices/user equipment (UE), such as smartphones, tablets and M2M modules. It builds on the technologies of its popular predecessor MT8820C, widely adopted by UE and chipset vendors worldwide. It supports multiple wireless technologies ranging from LTE-Advanced features like DL CA up to 6CC, to 3G/2G systems, as well as LTE-U/LAA, with its easy-to-use measurement functions for efficient RF parametric and physical layer throughput testing.
