IQwave™ for WiMAX Software


ImageThe LitePoint IQwave™ for WiMAX Waveform Generator Software operates in combination with LitePoint IQmax ™ Wireless Test Systems or IQnxnplus MIMO Test Systems to facilitate both the development and manufacturing of WiMAX products.

IQwave for WiMAX is a PC-based tool that simplifies the generation of 802.16 test signals for verifying the operation and performance of receiver hardware or receiver algorithms. By modeling typical and worst-case conditions in a controlled and fully repeatable, IQwave for WiMAX helps create tests for conformance, interoperability, and volume-production quality assurance.

Features

  • Generates complex WiMAX waveforms for LitePoint IQmax or IQnxnplus Test Systems to test receiver functionality and performance
  • Allows signal parameters to be modified as needed for both R&D and Manufacturing test purposes
  • Supports 802.16-2004 / OFDM (fixed WiMAX) and 802.16e-2005 / OFDMA (mobile WiMAX)
  • Supports SISO and MIMO signals, all bandwidth versions, frame durations, and modulation types
  • Allows the creation of a single frame or sub-frame, but also complex combinations (including interfering signals) or sequences 
  • Offers complete flexibility to construct (sub-) frames with arbitrary contents 
  • Models transmitter and receiver impairments and channel effects
    • LO leakage
    • I/Q amplitude imbalance
    • I/Q phase imbalance
    • Carrier frequency offset
    • Standard WiMAX channel models
    • User defined channel
    • Additive noise (AWGN)
    • Phase noise
    • Power amplifier non-linearity

 Benefits

  • Simplifies WiMAX product testing - define and generate waveforms with or without impairments for single- and multiple-VSG environments 
  • Customizes test signals to address your unique receiver test conditions - unlimited potential to test and verify performance
