MT8222A

The Anritsu MT8222A BTS Master™ is a high-performance, handheld integrated base station analyzer designed for deploying, maintaining, and troubleshooting 2G/2.5G, 3G, and 4G wireless networks. Combining the capabilities of a vector network analyzer (25 MHz to 4 GHz) and a spectrum analyzer (100 kHz to 7.1 GHz), it replaces multiple traditional instruments in a single 4 kg handheld unit.
