- Ultra-wideband testing solution meets all requirements for
physical layer conformance testing against the FiRa 2.0 Core
Technical and Test Specifications
- Solution provides a wrap-around toolset covering the full
design lifecycle from R&D to certification to
manufacturing
Keysight Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: KEYS) has had a test tool
validated for the FiRa 2.0 Certification release, covering physical
layer (PHY) conformance testing. The latest FiRa PHY Technical and
Test Specifications introduce enhancements to the performance and
interoperability test requirements for ultra-wideband (UWB) device
conformance tests.
UWB is a low energy radio technology used for high-bandwidth
communications for high-precision ranging over a wide spectrum. In
dense and challenging environments, UWB offers better performance
in terms of precision, reliability, security, and power consumption
than other communications technologies. The FiRa 2.0 Certification
Program offers more rigorous testing for UWB device makers to
enable compatibility and functionality across diverse applications,
including smart homes, automotive systems, and industrial
automation.
To assist device makers with meeting the challenges of testing
against FiRa 2.0 specifications, Keysight introduced support for
FiRa 2.0 test cases in its UWB Test Solution. As a FiRa validated
test tool for the new specifications, the UWB Test Solution
provides a wrap-around toolset covering the full design lifecycle
from R&D to certification to manufacturing.
The Keysight UWB Test Solution provides the following
benefits:
- Radio frequency (RF) validation: Ensures that the device
under test (DUT) meets the RF performance requirements.
- Angle of arrival (AoA) measurement: Verifies that the
DUT measures signal angle correctly based on the phase difference
to ensure accurate positioning.
- Time of flight (ToF) measurements: Validates that the
DUT reports signal flight time as expected for accurate distance
calculation which is essential for accurate positioning.
- Accelerates manufacturing: Speeds up UWB device RF
validation on the manufacturing line.
Michael Stark, Ph.D., FiRa’s Compliance and Certification
Working Group Co-Chair, said: “The success of UWB lies in
delivering seamless user experiences and device interoperability.
We’re pleased to have Keysight’s UWB Test Solution, a FiRa
Validated Test Tool, as part of the 2.0 Certification Program.”
Peng Cao, Vice President and General Manager of Keysight's
Wireless Test Group, said: “With the speed of ultra-wideband
innovation and adoption accelerating, device makers are looking for
proven and validated test solutions that keep pace with the latest
FiRa specifications and interoperability standards. Keysight is
proud that the UWB Test Solution has been validated into the FiRa
2.0 Certification Program to provide device makers worldwide with
the conformance testing tools they need to bring their products to
market quickly.”
