The Shield Box MA8161A by Anritsu is engineered for Over-the-Air protocol testing in the 600 MHz to 43.5 GHz range. It serves as a practical, space-saving solution for functional, throughput, and regression tests—especially for 5G NR and mmWave applications.

Its robust shielding minimizes external interference, enabling engineers to perform reliable debugging and compliance testing in development or quality assurance environments. The MA8161A offers a simpler alternative to large anechoic chambers while maintaining high test accuracy and repeatability.

It is particularly effective when combined with Anritsu platforms like the MT8000A, allowing for streamlined integration into existing test setups.

  • Wide Frequency Support: Operates across 600 MHz to 43.5 GHz, ideal for sub-6 GHz and mmWave testing.

  • Simple OTA Setup: Enables protocol and performance tests without a complex chamber.

  • Versatile Test Use Cases: Supports functional, throughput, debug, and regression testing.

  • Compact & Shielded Design: Ensures a noise-free environment for accurate test results.

  • Ideal for mmWave Protocol Testing: Designed specifically for 5G NR and next-gen device evaluations.
