Verification Test of 802.11ac Transmitters and Receivers
Application Notes
The explosive growth of mobile devices and real-time applications, such as high-definition video, pushed current wireless local area network (WLAN) technology to its limits. The 802.11ac standard, built upon the success of 802.11n, addresses this challenge by providing a new set of WLAN capabilities offering increased speed, reliability and quality of wireless communications.
Innovative design techniques and the desire to minimize manufacturing costs necessitate comprehensive testing during the R&D and design verification test stages of new WLAN devices. Design validation engineers must ensure that their 802.11ac designs will perform well under the most demanding modulation schemes, including MIMO spatial multiplexing configurations.
