IQxel-160
Industry reference 802.11ac Wireless Connectivity Test System
IQxel Brochure
IQxel Technical Specifications
IQxel™ is a one-box connectivity test system enabling physical layer wireless test coverage of WLAN and Bluetooth enabled devices. The IQxel is available in two configurations, 80 MHz or 160 MHz, which enables high-performance testing of 802.11ac-enabled wireless devices.
Simple Setup with Higher Production Throughput
• Simplifies manufacturing test of complex smartphone technologies
• Provides 32 RF ports for parallel testing with direct connections to the DUT antenna, reducing the complexity of the test setup by eliminating external components
• Delivers industry-leading high manufacturing yield with its best-in-class VSA power accuracy
IQxel160 not only has the capability to test the additional bandwidth requirements needed for the 160 and 80+80 MHz standards
but also gives more flexibility to the user with these additional features:
• Support for 80 MHz 2x2 True MIMO in a single tester
• Support for 80 MHz – 2 DUT full parallel testing
• Support for 80+80/160 MHz – 2 DUT Dual head (ping-pong) testing
Support for testing 256-QAM constellation mapping
• IQxel80 and IQxel160 test systems support the newest IEEE 802.11ac optional requirement for 256-QAM constellation mapping. This mapping can be used for both 80 MHz and 160 MHz transmissions, as well as for all other key features and enhancements built into the technology to improve the user experience of existing WiFi networks.
Support for Testing enhanced MIMO Capabilities
• Not only does 802.11ac present a bandwidth challenge, it also drives enhanced MIMO test requirements. The new standard allows support for up to 8 spatial streams and has several other enhancements to improve performance over existing 802.11n MIMO systems. Accurate MIMO testing requires that signal capture and generation be performed independent of each other. IQxel80 and IQxel160 systems are not only fully capable of performing independent signal capture and generation, but they also provide the flexibility to be expanded up to an 8x8 unit that also includes support for all key 802.11ac MIMO enhancements.
