AirView2(Spectrum Analyzer) • Wi-Fi spectrum analyzing tool (only for 2.4 GHz ) • used for optimizing 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi Networks
Technical Specification Sweep Range: 2399 - 2485 MHz (2.399 – 2.485 GHz) Step size/Interval: 500 KHz OR 3.7 Frames Per Seconds (FPS) Sweep time: 260 - 270 ms IEEE Standard: 802.11 b/g, n
Frequency Scan Range 2.399 GHz 2.485 GHz North American channel system Channel spacing: 5 MHz Channel bandwidth: 22 MHz
Output: Three Charts • Channel Usage Chart • determines the best channel to set up Wi-Fi network for optimal performance • Airview2 outputs the graph (% of Usage Vs channel frequency) which shows the relative crowdedness of that specific channel Channel 6 Highest usage
Output: Three Charts • Real Time Chart • The graph shows real-time energy (dBm) of the 2.4 GHz signals as function of frequency • Airview2 outputs the graph (Power Vs channel frequency) which shows the crowdedness of that specific channel max. current avg. Blue shaded: Max. (update and hold max. level since the start of airview session Green shaded: Avg. (running average) Yellow solid line: Current (real-time energy)
Output: Three Charts • Waveform Chart • The graph (Power Vs channel frequency) shows the aggregate energy (dBm) collected since the start of airview session Channel 1, 2 Higher occurrence Higher occurrence low occurrence Blue : energy appearing at a specific power with relatively low occurrence Green, yellow, orange: avg. occurrence at a specific power Red: energy appearing at a specific power with relatively higher occurrence
