Anritsu has released ISDB-T and DVB-T/H bit error rate (BER) measurement options for its MS2712E/MS2713E Spectrum Master handheld spectrum analysers and MT8212E/MT8213E Cell Master base station analysers. The options expand the measurement capabilities of the models.

The BER measurements, together with the other digital video and SFN measurement options, help ensure digital TV transmitters are configured according to licence agreements and optimised for error-free reception over the entire coverage area.

For the ISDB-T BER function, the company has used Silicon Infusion’s Zaltys 3-Layer ISDB-T demodulator core technology. The core integrates a high-performance COFDM demodulation engine and a fully compliant deframer, which provides high-quality real-time measurements.

The frequency tuning ranges on the analyserss have been extended to 2.4 GHz. A frequency map for automatic channel selection from VHF channels 5-12 has also been added for European testing environments.
