New 3G Area Analyser

Japan : Panasonic announced that has developed the W-CDMA/UMTS Area Analyzer VS-2100A as measuring equipment to evaluate the reception area of W-CDMA base stations, which will be marketed on August 21, 2003.

This Area Analyzer enables customer to measure PCPICH signal (Primary Common Pilot Channel) for 64chs (in static mode) and acquire the decoded information of BCH (Broadcast Channel Information). Those data are linked with built-in GPS and plotted on the real map classifying the strength by color (option).

Due to miniaturization, customer can measure and analyze easily and accurately signals from base stations, signal strength of such as multipath and interference in the various fields irrespective of indoor or outdoor use in addition to in-vehicle use. Interference fluctuations,etc., occurring after start-up of operation can be easily measured and very effective in the design and evaluation of the W-CDMA area.

Features

- High accuracy and stability measurement with the delay spread profile method
- Maximum 4 channels of BCH can be acquired simultaneously
- 2 carriers measurement mode (2110MHz~2170MHz) (optionally installed in our factory)
- Maximum 64 channels of P-CPICH can be measured simultaneously/High speed sampling in 10ms/ch maximum
- In-vehicle, miniaturized /batteries-powered/SD memory loaded, effective for indoor measurement.
- W 300 mm X H 60 mm X D 250 mm , Weight approx. 3.5 kg (batteries & accessories not Included)

Panasonic Mobile Communications Co., Ltd. are primarily developing and manufacturing W-CDMA/UMTS communications measurement equipment. " Base station simulator " and "UE simulator" have been positively developed and sold as well as this Area Analyzer. This machine will be exhibited in "EXPO COMM WIRELESS JAPAN 2003" that is to be held at "Tokyo Big Site" from July 16 through 18,2003.
