Boonton Introduces New Wi-Fi Chipset Characterization Capability
January 14 2020 - 8:00AM
Boonton, a Wireless Telecom Group company (NYSE American: WTT),
enhances its leading Wi-Fi chipset and device characterization
capability with the introduction of the Synchronized Independent
Gate mode on the RTP5000 and RTP4000 Real-Time RF Power Sensor
product lines. Characterization and compliance testing of Wi-Fi
chipsets and devices involves significant challenges for design and
test engineers. With multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO)
architectures and channel bandwidths up to 160 MHz, testing is
complex and demands on test equipment often require compromises
when measuring RF power per channel and time alignment between
channels. The new Synchronized Independent Gate mode eliminates the
need to make these compromises enabling simultaneous packet power
measurements on multiple synchronous or asynchronous transmit
chains across multiple power sensors. This unique new measurement
capability, combined with industry leading performance
specifications, makes Boonton RTP RF power sensors the ideal
solution to characterize and unveil the true performance of today’s
advanced Wi-Fi chipsets and devices.
When characterizing MIMO Wi-Fi chipsets, it is
essential to measure the time alignment between transmitted packets
across channels. Synchronized Independent Gate mode enables packet
power measurements performed independently on multiple synchronous
or asynchronous transmit chains with a common timebase shared among
sensors. Timebase distribution occurs through a simple cable
connection between sensor multi-function input-output ports. Other
power meter-based characterization systems require additional
customer-created circuitry or additional expensive test equipment
such as oscilloscopes.
The Boonton Real-Time RF Peak Power Sensors with
up to 195 MHz of video bandwidth are the only USB power sensors
that can accurately measure the peak power of Wi-Fi signals with 80
MHz and 160 MHz channel bandwidths. Alternative offerings require
users to settle for average power measurements which can mask
compression of signal peaks and the resultant signal distortion. In
addition, measuring time alignment between channels can be
challenging, most power meters do not have sufficient time
resolution and cannot measure packet streams for long enough
periods of time to provide sufficient characterization. Boonton
power sensors meet these challenges by providing industry leading
time resolution of 100 picoseconds and fast measurement
capabilities with its Real-Time Power Processing. Measurement
Buffer Mode enables a virtually unlimited time capture of a packet
stream with essentially no gaps in acquisition or analysis.
Synchronized Independent Gate mode and other
unique, industry-leading Wi-Fi chipset characterization
capabilities have been adopted by an industry-leading chipset
supplier. It provides greater insight for design verification and
characterization and unveils the true performance of their Wi-Fi
chipsets without the compromises they previously had to make.
