MCS is the UK distributor for Willtek, a leading manufacturer of GSM / WCDMA mobile phone test sets, such as the Willtek 4200S series and Willtek 4400 series.

The Willtek 4200S series is an ideal solution for mid-level service. It allows accurate RF measurements and offers a full range of features for testing voice, data and SMS functions of dual-and and triple-band GSM mobile phones.

The Willtek 4400 series tests major world formats, including GSM, EDGE, WCDMA, HSCSD, GPRS and CDMA2000, all in a single unit with fast changeover from push button or command.

WLAN 802.11 TEST SOLUTIONS

Litepoint manufactures the following WLAN 802.11 test solutions, distributed by MCS:

• IQview - the IQview 802.11a/b/g WLAN test solution is a wide-bandwidth single instrument capable of performing all 802.11a/b/g transmitter and receiver tests with its integrated VSA and VSG functionality.
• IQFlex - the IQFlex 802.11a/b/g WLAN manufacturing test solution is based on the industry-proven IQview platform and, like IQview, is a wide-bandwidth single instrument incorporating VSA and VSG functionality and capable of performing all 802.11a/b/g transmitter and receiver tests

SPECTRUM ANALYSER FOR BOOSTING WIRELESS EFFICIENCY

Willtek's 9102 Handheld Spectrum Analyzer is a multifunction instrument designed for lab and field applications concerning scalar network and spectrum analysis, including cable and antenna measurements and EMC pre-qualification tests. The 9102 has a frequency range of 100kHz to 4GHz and a resolution bandwidth (RBW) of an exceptional 1kHz. As an extension of the popular 9101 Handheld Spectrum Analyzer, the new 9102 maintains the small size and weight, along with the large, bright display and easy-to-use menu structure.

TETRA BASE STATION TEST SET

Willtek's STABILOCK 4032 series meets the needs of service organisations and mobile radio manufacturers worldwide. Complete GSM mobile test takes less than 1min, for the following systems: GSM/PCN/PCS; CDMA/IS-95; DECT; IS-54/IS-136; TETRA; TETRAPOL and PDC. With more than seven major digital systems and more than 30 analogue formats available, universal radio system coverage is available.

BLUETOOTH TESTING

MCS is the UK distributor for Tescom, who manufacture the TC-3000A Bluetooth Tester, which eliminates the need for several costly testers by combining key RF and protocol test and measurement functions in one convenient box. Designed for a wide range of applications in R&D, manufacturing, QA and service, this feature-packed powerful instrument is simple to use, lightweight and portable, and can be operated with all standard AC voltages. In addition to Bluetooth testing applications, TC-3000A may be used for non-Bluetooth RF testing along the 2.4GHz ISM band.

TEM CELLS FOR RF TESTING

Tescom manufactures a range of economy UHF TEM cell products, which generate a consistent electro-magnetic field for testing small RF devices such as wireless pagers, GPS receivers, portable phones, etc. An external test signal applied through the input port of the TC-5060A/B generates a consistent and predictable TEM test field inside the cell. The radiation field from a device transmitting in the cell can also be detected through the port using a test receiver. The unique compact and economical design is optimized for medium accuracy measurements beyond the standard TEM cell frequency range.

Tescom also manufactures a range of pager test sets and test accessories.
