802.11a/b/g WLAN Test Solution

The LitePoint IQview 802.11a/b/g/n WLAN Test Solution is a popular test instrument for RF testing of 802.11a/b/g WLAN products, including MIMO and optional Bluetooth + EDR. Network interface cards, access points and embedded components are typically tested using this product.

Features:

Seamless analysis of DSSS (802.11b/g) and OFDM (802.11a/g) WLAN signals

Advanced VSA and VSG combined with the capabilities of a power meter and spectrum analyzer in a single instrument

Operation in both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands

Baseband I/O facilitates product debugging with LitePoint IQdebug™ Monitor and Control Tool

High-performance VSA

Wide bandwidth (+/-33 MHz)

Capture-once-measure-all operation

High phase linearity, low phase noise, low noise figure

Graphical and numerical display of measurement results

Low noise figure

Pre-defined 802.11a/b/g transmit test signals

Impairments can be introduced in real- time to the transmit test signal

Generation of arbitrary 802.11a/b/g waveforms simplified by optional IQwave WLAN Waveform Generator Software

Simple control interfaces

IQsignal Signal Analysis Software Suite facilitates signal analysis, signal generation, and debugging

LitePoint API (IQapi) supports Visual C/C++ test scripts for use in manufacturing
