Agilent Technologies N4010A Application Note

WLAN Test Suite Software
(89607A)
Speed standards-based testing of
your 802.11b/g WLAN transmitter
with the 89607A WLAN test suite
software and the N4010A. This
standards-based test suite provides
the convenience of automatic
one-button test set-up and execution
with the confidence of knowing your
design is being tested based on the
techniques, parameters, and
specifications set down in the
IEEE 802.11b/g standards.

802.11a/b/g WLAN tests
The WLAN test suite software provides all of the
IEEE 802.11a/b/g WLAN transmitter tests. Test
set-up is easy. Click on the WLAN standard
you want, select the tests you want to use, then
click “ ”. The software does the rest. Whether you
want to use all of the tests to assure complete
assessment, or use a few tests to reduce overall test
time and speed device evaluation, the 89607A WLAN
test suite makes the process of test selection easy.

1. For a power range between +23 and –70 dBm,
frequency range 2.381 to 2.519 GHz.
2. For a temperature range of 20 to 30 °C.
3. Using USB 2.0 interface. Assumes 3 GHz Pentium
®
4 computer running Windows XP. Increased CPU
performance improves test time.
4. Measured 20 frames with 16 data symbols, and
spectral mask test with 2 ms of capture and 80 MHz
total span.
5. Measured one packet with 282 µs packet length,
and spectral mask test with 2 ms of capture and
80 MHz total span.
