It combines Anritsu’s MT8862A wireless connectivity test set (below) as a signal source with Microwave Vision’s multi-probe over-the-air test system (right) to support IEEE 802.11be measurements – which is the standard behind Wi-Fi 7.
“Advanced technologies such as 320MHz channels, 4K QAM and MLO are incorporated in Wi-Fi 7,” according to Anritsu. “For device vendors, guaranteeing the RF performance of their products is a critical challenge. Therefore, evaluation of RF performance, including OTA measurements, is becoming increasingly essential.” (QAM = quadrature amplitude modulation and MLO = multi-link operation)
The set-up allows for the measurement of parameters including total radiated power and total isotropic sensitivity, and covers other Wi-Fi standards as well as Wi-Fi 7.
MT8862A covers IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax/be (2.4, 5 and 6GHz) wireless-LAN devices and offers standard protocol messages to connect with the device-under-test for measuring its RF performance.
Capable of higher-definition video streaming, Wi-Fi 7 is already appearing in high-end smartphones, augmented and virtual reality devices, and routers.
