IQwave™ 802.11a/b/g/n Waveform Generator Software

ImageUse LitePoint IQwave™ WLAN Waveform Generator Software with LitePoint IQnxn MIMO, IQview or IQflex 802.11a/b/g/n WLAN Test Solutions, to simplify the generation of arbitrary 802.11a/b/g/n waveforms. The software produces 802.11a/b/g/n waveforms at either RF or baseband that can be transferred to LitePoint IQnxn, LitePoint IQview or LitePoint IQflex and generated as test signals to the receiver under test.

Define the content of transmitted single or multiple WLAN packets, control the spectrum of the signal, and apply various signal impairments to test and verify receiver performance under a variety of conditions. By modeling typical or worst-case 802.11a/b/g/n waveforms, users can stress and verify the operation of receiver hardware in manufacturing test or receiver hardware and algorithms in the R&D process.

Features

  • Generates complex 802.11a/b/g/n test waveforms for use by IQnxn MIMO, IQview or IQflex 802.11a/b/g/n WLAN Test Solutions to test receiver hardware or receiver algorithms
  • Allows signal parameters to be modified as needed for both design and manufacturing test purposes
  • Supports all 802.11a/b/g standard data rates and modulation types as well as turboTurbo, ½, and ¼ a/g 802.11 rates, 802.11b 1, 2, 5.5 and 11 Mbps, and 802.11n Modulation Coding Scheme 0 through 31
  • Models component distortions and channel impairments
    • LO leakage
    • I/Q amplitude imbalance
    • I/Q phase imbalance
    • Carrier frequency offset
    • Offsets between A/D and D/A sample clocks
    • ETSI HiperLAN/2 channel models (including multi-path channel models)
    • User-defined channel impulse response
    • Phase noise
    • Power amplifier non-linearity
    • Generates single- or multi-packet outputs
    • Supports 802.11b/g DSSS preambles, 802.11a/g OFDM preambles or PDSU without preamble
    • User-defined MAC address or MAC header can be disabled
    • Automatically generated random or repeating PDSU data or user-defined
  • Models 802.11b/g modulation filtering and 802.11a/g OFDM windowing
