IQgig-UWB Tester

IQgig-UWB™ tester is the industry’s first fully-integrated, one-box test solution for physical-layer testing of devices enabled with Ultra-Wideband (UWB) 802.15.4z technology.

The IQgig-UWB is ideal for both R&D characterization, high-volume production, and certification. Making it the perfect platform to enable a cost-effective, seamless transition from the lab to the manufacturing floor.

UWB (802.15.4z) Testing from R&D and Certification to the Manufacturing Floor

• Complete Ultra-Wideband test solution with all signal generation, analysis, and processing contained in a single, robust instrument
• Integrated VSG and VSA covers a frequency range from 5 GHz to 19 GHz
• Enables comprehensive transmitter and receiver testing with over 1 GHz single-shot bandwidth
• Precision trigger and response mechanism to enable accurate Time of Flight (ToF) measurements with picosecond level accuracy
• Combined with the IQ5631 Power & Delay Control Module (PDCM), IQgig-UWB enables per-antenna receiver sensitivity testing below -100 dBm and Angle of Arrival calibration/verification with per-port configurable delay lines up to 80 ps.
• Includes support for UWB technology standard 802.15.4z

UWB Complete Over-The-Air (OTA) DVT Solution

• Comprehensive total solution for UWB ranging (ToF) and Angle of Arrival (AoA)  characterization and RF parametric data collection of UWB devices
• OTA DVT Chamber provides a compact and flexible solution for UWB device characterization and design verification
• High performance Vivaldi antenna optimized for UWB testing: high gain across UWB frequencies for improved OTA SNR, accurate phase center for AoA testing and flat group delay
• Single polarized and dual polarized Vivaldi Antenna for azimuth and elevation AoA characterization/calibration

UWB PHY Conformance Certification Test Solution

• Validated by the FiRa^TM Consortium for UWB RF PHY conformance testing
• Available to Authorized Test Labs (ATLs) for PHY Conformance Certification testing or by FiRa members as part of pre-certification testing
• Complete solution including both the hardware platform and test programs controlling the tester and Device Under Test (DUT) using the UWB Command Interface (UCI)
