  • Specification

The ME7873NR is Anritsu’s trusted RF conformance platform for 5G NR, engineered for network operator, chipset vendor, and device manufacturer needs. Supporting both FR1 and FR2 bands, it facilitates compliance with GCF and PTCRB requirements, enabling certification of mobile terminals across key global markets.

Designed to support standalone (SA) and non-standalone (NSA) test scenarios, the system works in close integration with the MT8000A Radio Communication Test Station, delivering a highly flexible and future-proof test environment. The platform is capable of running official 3GPP RF test cases early, ensuring rapid certification paths and minimizing time to market.

The Lite Model variant allows a more compact and budget-friendly setup for Sub-6 GHz testing, cutting test time by up to 20% compared to traditional rack systems—without compromising measurement integrity. The auto-correction feature stabilizes performance in environments with temperature variation, maintaining high test precision.

Whether used for pre-certification, design validation, or final compliance testing, the ME7873NR supports multi-generation cellular testing, including 5G, LTE, and 3G, ensuring a complete RF certification workflow in a single platform.

  1. 3GPP-Compliant for 5G RF Conformance Testing in SA and NSA modes.

  2. FR1 & FR2 Support: Covers Sub-6 GHz and millimeter-wave frequency bands.

  3. GCF & PTCRB Certified: Approved system for global terminal conformance validation.

  4. Early 3GPP Test Case Releases: Timely updates aligned with the latest standardization efforts.

  5. High Measurement Stability: Auto-correction minimizes thermal drift during test runs.

  6. Modular Hardware Options: Choose from Lite Model or Rack Model based on test requirements.
