The N9077EM0E WLAN measurement application is one in a common library of more than 25 measurement applications for the Keysight X-Series signal analyzers, an evolutionary approach to signal analysis that spans instrumentation, measurements and software.
The N9077EM0E WLAN measurement application transforms the X-Series signal analyzers into IEEE 802.11 standard-based WLAN transmitter testers by adding fast one-button RF conformance measurements to help you design, evaluate, and manufacture your WLAN transmitter. The measurement application is fully compliant to the IEEE 802.11 series standards, helping you thoroughly test your WLAN design with confidence and support manufacturing with a single application that covers 802.11a / b / g / j / p / n, 802.11ac, 802.11af, and 802.11ah.
RF transmitter testing
- Simplified setup with one-button measurements for analysis of time, frequency, and modulation-domain characteristics of 802.11a / b / g / j / p / n, 802.11ac, 802.11af and 802.11ah WLAN signals
- No bandwidth limitation for swept power measurements such as channel power, spectrum emission mask, occupied bandwidth
- Modulation analysis from the frame to the raw bits. Handles DSSS, CCK, PBCC and OFDM modulation quality with graphical and numeric result displays
- Cross support on X-Series signal analyzers from the high-performance UXA and PXA to the general purpose CXA for manufacturing with the same functionality and user interface
- Add real-time spectrum analyzer (RTSA) capability to the UXA, PXA or MXA signal analyzers to pinpoint interference caused by the many other signals in the ISM (Sub 1 GHz, 2.4 GHz, or 5 GHz) band
