Overview

IQxel-MW™ is a comprehensive, multi-device test solution with superior performance for the next generation of  WLAN and Bluetooth connectivity devices, ideal for both R&D and high-volume production.

The optimized performance ensures that you are truly measuring the device, and not measuring uncertainty in the measurement setup. This enables high test yield and minimal retest on the manufacturing floor.

As 802.11ac (Wi-Fi 5) and 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6) technologies are adopted by device makers, product requirements are becoming more complicated, leading to complex test setups. IQxel-MW is equipped with new features that simplify production testing and lower production costs. The IQxel-MW series is available in three configurations—2 ports, 8 ports and 16 ports—which support up to 2×2, 4×4 and scalable to 8×8 true MIMO testing.

Designed for the Demanding Requirements of 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6)

Class-defining residual EVM performance for 1024-QAM

Unrivaled RF port configurability, eliminating the need for external components in the test fixture

Native support for per-port 160 MHz and 80+80 MHz signal combination

Simultaneous dual-band test enabled (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz): ensures performance of TX/TX, TX/RX and RX/RX operating modes

Support for single-user OFDMA, multi-user OFDMA, Uplink and Downlink

Patented Packet Engine™ technology for 802.11ax MU-OFDMA power and timing control verification
