LitePoint IQnxn WiFi MIMO R&D Test Solution features multiple, synchronized vector signal analysis (VSA) and vector signal generator (VSG) instruments designed to characterize and test the latest MIMO WiFi (802.11n) products.
The flexible system allows you to test any and all configurations, including 2X, 3X and 4X, by adding LitePoint IQnxn Expansion Units.
Many 802.11n devices use Multi-Stream MIMO techniques to offer more robust data links with higher bandwidth. To properly validate these designs in R&D, you need a true Multi-Stream MIMO solution. Real world devices lack perfect isolation between channels, causing measurement errors when trying to validate these devices using switched MIMO approaches. This is particularly evident when comparing EVM measurements using switched EVM and Multi-Stream EVM testing.
