802.11ad Testbed, Reference Solution
The 802.11ad testbed enables the generation and analysis of 802.11ad fully-coded PHY waveforms at baseband, IF, and millimeter-wave (mmWave) frequencies for complete device characterization.
Highlights
Generate and analyze 802.11ad fully-coded PHY waveforms for complete component, subsystem, and system performance at baseband, IF, and mmWave. The base test equipment configuration supports frequencies up to 44 GHz for testing with a wide range of IFs. 60-GHz V-Band frequencies can be generated and analyzed with different upconverters and downconverters depending on application and performance requirements.
Functionality
- Generate and analyze fully-coded 802.11ad waveforms with flexible parameter configuration
- Pre-correct waveforms for I/Q imbalances and overall channel response
- Supports many topologies for transmitter/receiver testing (IQ, IF, RF, microwave, mmWave)
- Independent reference to debug and validate hardware performance
Performance
- RF modulation bandwidths up to 2 GHz
- Frequency bands between 100 kHz and 44 GHz with base instruments
- Frequency bands between 55 and 90 GHz with extended mmWave configurations
Measurement applications and software
- 81199A Wideband Waveform Center software creates and analyzes 802.11ad waveforms
- SystemVue W1461BP Communications Architect and W1915EP MM-Wave WPAN Baseband Verification Library for early simulation of component and system-level performance
- 89600 VSA software to demodulate custom IQ and custom OFDM waveforms
Web Standard Configurations
This configuration provides the generation and analysis of 802.11ad fully coded PHY waveforms at baseband, IF, and millimeter-wave frequencies for complete device characterization.
Note: In the following standard configuration, one N5152A and one N1999A can be used in place of the N9029AV15 (Quantity 2).
If the N5152A and N1999A are used, add:
-
one N5152A Millimeter-Wave Upconverter
(w/ N5152A-505 Upconverter, 57 to 66 GHz (5 GHz IF) and N5152A-1E1 IF input step attenuator) -
one N1999A Millimeter-Wave Downconverter
(w/ N1999A-505 Downconverter, 57 to 66 GHz (5 GHz IF)
If the N9040B is used, N9040B-H1G can be added as:
- one N9040B UXA Signal Analyzer, 3 Hz to 50 GHz (w/ N9040B-H1G Extends the analysis bandwidth to 1 GHz; compatible with frequency range option N9040B-550)
