The Anritsu MT8220T BTS Master is a high-performance handheld base station analyzer engineered for wireless network installation, commissioning, and maintenance across 2G through 4G technologies. This single platform integrates over 30 specialized analyzers—spectrum, interference, signal quality, cable, and antenna—eliminating the need for multiple instruments on site. Operating from 400 MHz to 6 GHz for cable and antenna analysis, and 150 kHz to 7.1 GHz for spectrum measurement, the MT8220T delivers comprehensive coverage of legacy GSM, CDMA, W-CDMA, HSPA+, TD-SCDMA, LTE/LTE-A, WiMAX, and NB-IoT networks with LTE eNodeB support up to 20 MHz bandwidth.
