The Anritsu MT8213E Cell Master is a handheld base station analyzer that consolidates cable and antenna analysis, spectrum analysis, and power measurement into a single portable instrument. Designed for installation, commissioning, maintenance, and troubleshooting of wireless networks, it delivers the test depth required by RF technicians across 2G, 3G, 4G LTE/LTE-A, WiMAX, and digital broadcast standards including ISDB-T and DVB-T/H.
