IQsignal™ Analysis Software Suite

LitePoint IQsignal™ Software Suite represents the latest in vector-based signal analysis and modulation technology designed for the demanding requirements of 802.11a/b/g and optional Bluetooth® systems. Bundled with IQview 802.11 WLAN Test Instrument and IQnxn 801.11n MIMO Test System, the suite is comprised of a comprehensive tool set to control the VSA and VSG hardware and analyze measured data. The suite is organized into three major tools: 1) Vector Signal Analysis Tool for complete 802.11a/b/g/n VSA analysis, 2) Vector Signal Generator Tool for generation of complex waveforms to the VSG and 3) Vector Signal Impairment Generator Tool for introduction of impairments in the VSG.
