WLAN R&D Test Solution

LitePoint IQview® 802.11a/b/g/n WLAN R&D Test Solution is an all-in-one test instrument developed specifically for RF testing of 802.11a/b/g WLAN products, including MIMO and optional Bluetooth + EDR, such as network interface cards, access points and embedded components. The test solution includes LitePoint IQsignal™ Software Suite, the latest in vector-based signal analysis and modulation technology.

WLAN Manufacturing Test Solutions

LitePoint IQflex™ 802.11a/b/g/n WLAN Manufacturing Test Solution is an all-in-one test instrument developed specifically for production RF testing of 802.11a/b/g/n, MIMO WLAN and optional Bluetooth products. The instrument replaces all traditional test equipment used in a WLAN production line and integrates the functionality of a power meter and spectrum analyzer with a vector signal analyzer (VSA) and vector signal generator (VSG) in a single, small form-factor box. 

LitePoint IQnxn Test System 

LitePoint IQnxn™ 802.11n MIMO R&D Test System features a multiple, synchronized vector signal analysis (VSA) and vector signal generator (VSG) instruments designed to characterize and test the latest MIMO WiFi products. The flexible system allows developers, chipset vendors, and brand owners to test any and all configurations, including 2X, 3X and 4X, by adding LitePoint IQnxn expansion units.

Channel Emulator for SISO & MIMO System Testing 

LitePoint TrueChannel™ Emulator is a dual band, bidirectional, expandable, dynamic channel emulator designed for 802.11a/b/g and 802.11n / EWC MIMO validation, characterization and performance testing applications for use by chip developers to develop, debug and characterize their chip architecture and reference designs; product developers to design and optimize product performance; and brand owners to help evaluate potential vendor product performance.

LitePoint MIMO Dual-Band Channel Simulator

The MIMO Dual-Band Channel Simulator box is used to create a basic 802.11n MIMO air interface. The primary application for this product is to enable low cost MIMO throughput testing at the end of the product manufacturing line. DUT 1a and DUT 2a ports are typically connected to two antennas with near field coupling to the device-under-test’s antennas. DUT1b and DUT2b ports are optionally used to monitor the signals. The included 50 ohm terminators should be used on unused ports.

The MIMO Dual-Band Channel Simulator box passively combines two RF input signals from a MIMO reference transmitter creating combined output signals for the device under test. DUT 2a and 2b signal is the sum of REF 1 and REF 2 input signals. DUT 1a and 1b signal is the sum of a 180 degree phase shifted REF 1 signal and the REF 2 signal. The MIMO Dual-Band Channel Simulator box operates with 2.4 to 2.5GHz and 4.9 to 6.0GHz frequency band signals.  The MIMO Dual-Band Channel Simulator box is part of a complete 802.11n test solution from LitePoint, including IQnxn MIMO Test System for developers, IQview and IQflex for manufacturing and Q/A and the IQfact family of production test programs for MIMO chip sets.

LitePoint WiMAX Tester IQmax

LitePoint IQmax™ 802.16 WiMAX Test System is expressly designed to test the latest 802.16 broadband CPE products. Based on an integrated vector signal analysis (VSA) and vector signal generator (VGA) architecture, the single-box test system tests critical physical layer radio parameters for developer, product verifier, volume manufacturing and quality assurance stations. 

The system interfaces with the device under test (DUT) RF ports through its integrated VSA and VSG subsystems. Baseband I/O signal interface and analysis is also supported. The dual RF ports are selectable for either Tx or Rx operation and support the 2.15 to 2.7 GHz, 3.3 to 3.8GHz and 4.9 to 6.0 GHz frequency bands.

IQmax Link-based Test Unit

The LitePoint IQmax™ Link-based Test Unit is designed to enable linkbased testing of WiMAX DUTs when connected to an IQmax Test System. WiMAX subscriber stations are typically designed to operate with a connection to a base station, although chip suppliers may provide a special test driver to allow testing without a link being established. In the cases where the DUT requires a “live” link to be present to test and calibrate the receiver and/or transmitter section, the IQmax Link-based Test Unit along with the IQmax Test System must be used.

LitePoint Bluetooth Software Package

LitePoint Bluetooth Software Package provides manufacturing test capability for Bluetooth v1.1, v1.2, v2.0 and EDR products using IQview or IQflex WLAN One-Box Testers. The package includes new API commands and integration of FM modulation support into IQsignal Analysis Software suite IQview installations only). Production test programs for the manufacturing floor can be developed to allow Bluetooth and WiFi combination production to be single-pass tested, substantially reducing test time.

　

LitePoint IQfact Production Test Software for Bluetooth

LitePoint IQfact Production Test Software is optimized for the most popular Bluetooth chipsets including Broadcom [link to datasheet] and CSR [link to datasheet]. The test programs are a result of LitePoint’s partnership with leading chipset manufacturers, and offer wireless OEMs a quick, easy, and cost-effective way to develop and test chipset-specific solutions, including single-pass testing of combination Bluetooth and WiFi products.
