The ZTMN-1695A-S is a 16-port mesh network emulator designed for simulating real-world wireless network conditions in production and test environments. It features independently programmable 0 to 90 dB attenuation on each of 120 internal signal paths, operating from 30 MHz to 3 GHz with 50 Ω SMA female connectors. The unit is housed in a 5U height, 19-inch rack-mount chassis with all RF ports on the front panel. Control is supported via USB HID and Ethernet using SSH, HTTP, and Telnet protocols. Insertion loss is 37 to 45 dB across the band, with direct path isolation exceeding 110 dB and leakage path isolation at least 70 dB. Return loss is 8 dB minimum, and input power per port is rated at +25 dBm.
Mini-Circuits’ ZTMN series mesh network emulators are multi-port test systems with independently variable attenuation on each internal path. This concept allows simulation of a “real-world” mesh communication network within the confined space of a production environment. Path loss can be varied independently between any pair of devices on the network without affecting any other combination of devices, allowing simulation of a complex range of test cases. ZTMN-1695A-S is a 16-port mesh covering the 30 MHz to 3 GHz bands, with 0 to 90 dB attenuation range on each of the internal paths. Mini-Circuits’ novel design approach significantly shrinks the rack cabinet space required for a 16-port mesh, integrating the complete system with 120 internal paths into a 5U height, 19-inch rack chassis, with all RF connectors on the front panel. The ZTMN series also supports custom mesh network combinations, with port counts, attenuation and frequency ranges configured according to your needs. The system can be controlled via USB or Ethernet (supporting SSH, HTTP & Telnet protocols). Full software support is provided, including our user-friendly GUI application for Windows and a full API with programming instructions for Windows and Linux environments (both 32-bit and 64-bit systems).
