I have been quite busy these past few weeks so havn’t had a chance to post much but I thought I would give a quick overview of the product I am helping develop at Anristu.

The team I am working on is called the RTD tool team, the RTD (Rapid Test Designer) is the product we work with.

A base unit is produced in Japan however European customers require more complex functionality than the base unit offers, in the UK we write a software implementation that runs on the base product to bring it up to the standard required by European customers.

The RTD is a product which allows customers to create, execute and analyze tests for their devices. Users can test specific functions and protocols within the UE without having to be an expert on all the protocol layers. It has an intuitive graphical user interface which allows tests to be run in a fraction of the time taken for traditional methods. After tests are completed, the RTD matches criteria against actual performance and reports on the success or failure of each criterion.

The basic RTD system provides a simulation of a W-CDMA/GSM network with up to four W-CDMA cells and one GSM cell. The RTD system consists of a personal computer running a Windows OS connected to the Anritsu MD8480 W-CDMA Signaling Tester (system simulator).
