Anritsu Introduces Butler Matrix Module that Simulates 8x8 MIMO Connection to Support All 5G FR1 Bands

12/15/2023

Anritsu Company introduces its Butler Matrix 8x8 MA8118A module that simulates 8x8 MIMO connections for efficient 5G UE throughput tests. Designed for use with the industry-leading Radio Communication Test Station MT8000A, the MA8118A Butler Matrix is a transmission path with 8 input and 8 output ports and supports the 0.6 GHz to 7.125 GHz 5G Frequency Range (FR 1) bands, expanding the MT8000A’s ability to conduct efficient tests on 5G FR1 UEs.

The 8x8 MA8118A augments the existing Anritsu ACC-380 Butler Matrix 8x8 module to provide full coverage of the 5G FR1 band. The MA8118A’s fixed 8x8 MIMO transmission path divides one input signal into 8 output ports, minimizing re-cabling when changing test conditions, creating time efficiencies, as well as improving accuracy and repeatability.
