A new option that supports the latest WLAN standard of Wi-Fi 7 (IEEE 802.11be) for its Wireless Connectivity Test Set MT8862A introduced by Anritsu Corporation.
With this new capability, Anritsu Corporation states that the MT8862A supports to evaluate Wi-Fi 7 signal quality with the Network Mode complementing the IEEE802.11be (Wi-Fi 7) wireless communication standard.
By releasing this option, Anritsu helps to improve the signal quality of Wi-Fi 7 devices.
Product Summary and Features
? Wi-Fi 7 RF Evaluation Capability with Network Mode
Because WLAN signal quality characteristics vary with each data rate, per-data-rate signal evaluation is very important. The MT8862A enables RF evaluation at all data rates of the major WLAN standards including Wi-Fi 7 by the per-data-rate signal control technology.
? Flexible Test Environment
Provides a test environment for evaluating RF TRX characteristics (TX power, modulation accuracy, RX sensitivity, etc.) of WLAN devices including Wi-Fi 7.
Technical Terms
*1 Network Mode
The Network Mode emulates real-world operation to evaluate RF characteristics. It uses the data link layer communication protocol implemented in both the chip and the tester to establish communication. In addition to evaluating RF characteristics using conducted tests, the Network Mode is especially useful for Over-The-Air (OTA) wireless performance testing – including antenna characteristics – of finished products.
*2 IEEE 802.11ax
Wireless LAN standard defined by IEEE supporting theoretical maximum speeds up to 9.61 Gbps.
*3 Multi-link Operation (MLO)
Technology enabling one device to simultaneously send and receive data across different frequency bands and channels.
The IEEE802.11be (Wi-Fi 7) wireless communication standard being developed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers is the successor to the IEEE802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6/6E) WLAN standard.
