Anritsu’s software option enhances C-V2X measurement
Anritsu has introduced an LTE-V2X PSCCH TX measurement MX887068A-001 software option to enhance the cellular vehicle to everything (C-V2X) measurement function of universal wireless test set MT8870A / MT8872A.
The software supports the physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH) for LTE-V2X (PC5) and supports RF measurement of the physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH). It also supports mass-production of LTE-V2X (PC5) devices for the evaluation of R&D RF test items.
LTE-V2X (PC5) will co-operate with the other radio access technologies such as 5G V2N (vehicle to network) and the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) and is expected to be adopted for Connected Autonomous Vehicle applications.
Japan, Europe and China are investigating introduction of V2X to the New Car Assessment Program (NCAP). RF evaluation of V2X is becoming increasingly important from the safety aspect. V2X communications technology is used for dedicated short qrange communications (DSRC), such as intelligent transport systems (ITS). C-V2X using mobile communication technology with a wider communication range is also being investigated.
The Universal Wireless Test Set MT8870A/MT8872A series is designed for developing and mass-production various wireless communication equipment, modules, etc. Installing up to four high-performance test units in the main unit supports a seamless frequency band up to 7.3 GHz with a 200 MHz bandwidth.
Each unit measures independently in parallel, enabling the MT8870A to simultaneously evaluate multiple wireless communications devices.
Anritsu provides communications test and measurement equipment and supports customers to help develop wireless, optical, microwave / RF and digital solutions for R&D, manufacturing, installation and maintenance applications, as well as providing services for network monitoring and optimisation.
Anritsu also provides precision microwave / RF components, optical devices, and high-speed electrical devices for communication products and systems. The company develops solutions for 5G, M2M, IoT, as well as other emerging and legacy wireline and wireless communication markets.
