Benefits
Quickly finds small, hard to identify faults before major failures occur. Easily locate, identify and record various signals with incredible accuracy. Built-in demodulator for AM, narrow band FM, wide band FM and SSB allows a technician to listen and identify interfering signals. Performs accurate power measurements, reducing holes and interference. Measures frequency, bandwidth and power of multiple transmitted signals. Built-in signal source to measure gain or loss of two port devices, as well as antenna isolation measurements and repeater testing. Identify and locate interfering signals that cause dropped calls and coverage problems. Intermittent problems can be identified using spectrograms. Built-in receiver for location information. In CDMA mode, the GPS clock can be used to make over the air measurements. RF measurements, demodulation and over the air measurements help the technician to quickly check base station performance. RF measurements monitor transmitter performance. Simplifies the task of determining if the source of problems is on the wireline or the wireless side.
FDR Technique
Frequency Domain Reflectometry (FDR) and Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) have similar acronyms, and both techniques are used to test transmission lines. But, thats where the similarities end. TDRs are not sensitive to RF problems: the TDR stimulus is a DC pulse, not RF. Thus, TDRs are unable to detect system faults that often lead to system failures. Additionally, FDR techniques save costly, time-consuming trouble shooting efforts by testing cable feedline and antenna systems at their proper operating frequency. Deficient connectors, lightning arrestors, cables, jumpers or antennas are replaced before call quality is compromised.

Cable Loss
Cable Loss measures the RF energy that is lost as heat and leakage as the signal travels down the cable. Insertion loss can be verified prior to deployment, when you have access to both ends of the cable, or on installed cables with access to the opposite end. The MT8212B Cell Master automatically calculates and displays the average cable loss so theres no more guess work or need for complicated calculations in the field.

Distance-to-Fault
Although a Return Loss test can show users the magnitude of signal reflections, it can not show the precise location of a fault within the cable and antenna system. Distance-To-Fault measurements provide the clearest indication of trouble areas as it shows both the magnitude of the signal reflection and the location of the signal anomaly. Distance-To-Fault can easily identify connector transitions, jumpers and kinks in the cable and antenna system. Return Loss/SWR measurement data is processed using Fast Fourier Transform and the resulting data indicates Return Loss/SWR versus distance.

Smart Measurements
The Cell Master MT8212B has dedicated routines for smart measurements of field strength, channel power, occupied bandwidth, Adjacent Channel Power Ratio (ACPR), Carrier-to-Interference and interference analysis. These are increasingly critical measurements for todays wireless communication systems. The simple interface for these complex measurements significantly reduces test time and increases analyzer usability.
Occupied Bandwidth
This measurement calculates the bandwidth containing the total integrated power occupied in a given signal bandwidth. There are two different methods of calculation depending on the technique used to modulate the carrier. The user can specify percent of power or the x dB down point, where x can be from 1 dB to 120 dB below the carrier.

AM/FM Demodulator
A built-in demodulator for AM, narrowband FM, wideband FM and single sideband (selectable USB and LSB) allows easy identificaton of interfering signals.
RF measurements (CDMA and GSM) give a general idea of how strong the transmitting signal is and whether the base station is transmitting at the designated frequency. The Cell Master demodulates the CDMA signal by connecting to the base station, or using an over the air antenna.
CDMA RF measurements are channel power, occupied bandwidth, carrier frequency, frequency error and noise floor.

Over the Air Measurement provides a cost effective way to identify base station performance problems before they become catastrophic without taking the base station off the air. Traditionally, technicians had to bring down the sector or site to test the base station performance. Now technicians can sit in a vehicle and make these measurements. cdmaOne and cdma2000 1xRTT over the air measurement displays pilot power, channel power, frequency error, noise floor, dominant pilot, multipath power, three strongest pilots with Ec/Io, and two strongest multipaths relative to the strongest pilot.

Transmission measurement is a two port measurement covering the 25 MHz to 3 GHz frequency range. It is a signal source providing the ability to measure loss or gain of two-port devices such as filters, cables, attenuators, duplexers and tower mounted amplifiers. Transmission measurement can also be used to make antenna-toantenna isolation measurements and for repeater testing.

The Cell Master performs full T1/E1 functional tests, simplying the task of determining if the source of the problem is on the wireline or the wireless side. The data can be displayed in histogram and Cell Master can collect the T1/E1 data up to two days. The analyzer can also measure the carrier voltage which can be displayed in dBdsx or peak to peak voltage units. The T1/E1 carrier frequency is also measured and displayed in Hz. The user can manually select a DS0/VF channel and listen to the channel using the internal speaker. If there is a test tone on the channel, the Cell Master displays the signal level and frequency.
