The Anritsu MA8161A is a portable benchtop RF shielded enclosure that provides controlled test environments for wireless device validation. It delivers ≥50 dB nominal RF isolation across 600 MHz to 43.5 GHz, enabling accurate over-the-air and conducted measurements without the footprint or cost of full anechoic chambers. The single-chamber design with top-loading access accommodates UE samples up to 300 mm (W) × 50 mm (H) × 200 mm (D) and integrates directly with Anritsu MT8000A test platforms.
