MVG & Anritsu Launch NTN Over-The-Air Testing Solution
Microwave Vision Group (MVG) and Anritsu have partnered to provide a lab-based testing solution for Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN) communications, integrating MVG’s multi-probe OTA systems with Anritsu’s MT8821C Radio Communication Analyzer.
The joint system emulates satellite link conditions, including; Doppler shift, long propagation delays, and satellite–ground handovers, in compliance with 3GPP standards, enabling earlier debugging and reduced reliance on field trials.
Key features include:
Support for LTE, LTE-Advanced, Cat-M1, and NB-IoT devices.
Measurement of TRP, TIS, and receiver sensitivity under satellite-like conditions.
WaveStudio integration for synchronized test scenarios.
Targeted at OEMs and integrators in sectors like asset tracking, remote monitoring, and industrial IoT, the solution helps ensure device readiness for emerging LEO-based NTN services and standards from vendors like Skylo.
