WiPAN LVSG - IEEE
802.15.4 (2.4 GHz) LR-WPAN Signal Generation Tool/Overview |
|
A key component of any test
system is a signal source. Many areas including
telecommunications, Wireless testing requires complex test signals
that extend from several milliseconds to seconds in duration. A
signal generation system is a key to rapid and accurate evaluation
of transmitter/receiver performances. A quality characterization,
validation, or manufacturing test system requires an accurate
signal generator to reliably produce your test signals.
Seasolve's signal generation software WiPAN LVSG makes it easy to
create signals for characterizing overall PHY layer performance of
WPAN transmitter and receiver. |

OVERVIEW |
WiPAN LVSG is Baseband PHY software in
LabVIEW that provides a configurable MAC, basic transmitter blocks
such as bit to chip formation, Offset Quadrature Phase Shift Keying
(O-QPSK) modulation (16-ary) and half sine pulse shaping as per the
requirements of the Standard. It allows testing DUT’s Receiver
performance characteristics like Receiver sensitivity, Jamming
Resistance, PER, BER.
WiPAN LVSG signal generation tool along with NI RFSG delivers a highly
flexible and powerful solution to quickly and conveniently generate
IEEE 802.15.4 (2.4 GHz) compliant modulated baseband and RF test
signals for scientific research, consumer electronics, communications,
aerospace/defense, and semiconductor test applications as well as for
emerging areas such as wireless sensor networks.
WiPAN LVSG allows modeling or adding impairments like:
Channel (AWGN/Fading)
Freq Offset Addition and/or
correction
I/Q Gain Imbalance
Phase Noise
Memoryless Nonlinearity
Quadrature Skew
DC offset
Power Amplifier Backoff
