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-0895A-N is an 8-port mesh covering the 30 MHz to 3 GHz bands, with 0 to 95 dB attenuation range on each of the 28 internal paths. The model is housed in a compact, 2U height, 19-inch rack chassis with all RF connectors on the front panel. The ZTMN series also supports larger mesh network combinations, custom attenuation and frequency ranges available on request.
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).
