Companies verify advanced 3TX technology with 5G test station

Anritsu Corporation and MediaTek have verified Advanced 3TX technology featured in MediaTek's M80 5G Modem by using Anritsu's MT8000A all-in-one Radio Communication Test Station, delivering a flexible test platform for ultrafast, large-capacity 5G communications. The device supports sub-6GHz and mmWave RF tests and protocol tests for developing advanced 5G technologies.

The demands on uplink performance are growing with the rise of live streaming, video sharing by SMS, multi-player gaming, and video conferences. As more consumers seek to record their experiences and share them with the world in real time, this 3TX approach dramatically enhances upload times for users.

3TX technology comprises a combination of one uplink transmission of 1CC with FDD SISO and two uplink transmissions of 1CC with TDD 2x2 MIMO in 5G sub-6GHz Standalone to reach top uplink speeds, marking a breakthrough accomplishment in mobile wireless capabilities.

This advanced 3TX technology will be demonstrated at MediaTek's booth at MWC2024, where visitors will see how 3TX technology improves user upload and streaming experiences due to the faster uplink speeds versus 2TX. Anritsu will provide its industry-leading MT8000A 5G Tester as a working Base-station Emulator to establish call connection in 3TX, and MediaTek will test its T830 platform.
