Instrument Description

The S412E LMR Master is an integrated multi-functional test instrument that eliminates
the need to carry and learn multiple test sets. The S412E combines a high performance
receiver/spectrum analyzer with a vector network analyzer. The S412E can optionally be
configured to include Coverage Mapping for P25/P25p2, NXDN™, dPMR, ETSI DMR Tier 2,
MOTOTRBO™, ITC-R PTC, and TETRA (LMR Digital Demodulation). Other available
options include Interference Analyzer with mapping, Channel Scanner, AM/FM/PM
Analyzer, Vector Voltmeter, Fixed and Mobile WiMAX™, FirstNet LTE (RF, Modulations,
and Over-the-Air), Distance Domain for VNA, and High Accuracy Power Meter for
terminating and inline USB sensors.
The S412E includes a CW and NBFM Signal Generator with a 500 kHz to 1.6 GHz frequency
range and +0 dBm (1 mW) maximum power level. In many available LMR modes (P25/P25p2,
NXDN, DMR 2, or ITC-R PTC) the S412E signal generator can create mode specific patterns,
CW, 1 kHz AM, and 1 kHz FM signals with adjustable frequency and power levels.
The LMR Master spectrum analyzer, NBFM, P25/P25p2, NXDN, DMR 2, dPMR, and PTC
frequency ranges are expanded to 6 GHz with Option 6. The VNA frequency range is
expanded to 6 GHz with Option 16. Additional options include a Bias Tee for TMA testing and
a GPS receiver. Details on configuration and available options is provided in the LMR Master
Technical Data Sheet.
The bright 8.4 inch TFT backlit LCD color display provides easy viewing in a variety of
lighting conditions, and the combination of a touch screen and keypad enables you to navigate
menus with the touch screen and to enter numbers with the keypad. All LMR Master models
are equipped with a field-replaceable Li-Ion battery delivering more than three hours of
battery life.
The internal memory is large enough to store approximately 2,000 traces or setups. External
USB memory is limited only by the size of the attached USB memory device. Measurements
and setups can also be stored in a USB flash drive or transferred to a PC by using the
included USB cable or through Ethernet. Use Line Sweep Tools (LST) for certain VNA
measurements and Master Software Tools (MST) for spectral analysis measurements (refer
to Chapter 7, "Anritsu PC Software Tools"
Not all after-market USB flash drives are compatible with the LMR Master. Many
drives come with a second partition that contains proprietary firmware. This
Note partition must be removed. Only one partition is allowed. Refer to the individual
manufacturer for instructions on how to remove it. Some drives can be made to
work by reformatting them using the FAT32 format.
