  14. MT8860B Block Diagram Anritsu Confidential Information – For internal use only

  15. Two Modes of Testing Supported • Network Mode • MT8860B acts as Access Point (AP) or Station (STA) • Connects to DUT using standard signalling • This is the most representative test configuration compared to normal device use • Direct Mode • MT8860B acts as standard WLAN signal generator and Transmitter analyzer • Chipset vendor “control software” required to configure the DUT Anritsu Confidential Information – For internal use only

  16. Strengths No need for chipset vendor “control software” Test WLAN devices in “real world” conditions Automated receiver sensitivity traces Simplest and fastest test configuration Weaknesses DUT must have functional baseband Security and Firewalls must be disabled Laptop Laptop Access Point NetworkTypically Ethernet Laptop Laptop Laptop (STA) Laptop (STA) Network Mode MT8860B can simulate anAccess Point (AP) or Client (STA) MT8860B in an Ad-Hoc connection Anritsu Confidential Information – For internal use only

  17. Network Mode: Receiver Testing • Provides a generic solution DUT is in STANDARD link MT8860B transmits “UNICAST” data packets and counts the acknowledgement (ACK) packets returned by DUT  PER NO REQUIREMENT for chipset vendor “control software” Anritsu Confidential Information – For internal use only

  18. Network Mode: Receiver Testing • Receiver measurements with a gold card are subject to gold card variability • Output power not calibrated • Drift, cable, and attenuator uncertainty • Experience shows that gold cards drift apart and parallel production lines will show variability • Requires regular replacement of gold cards • MT8860B has calibrated and traceable output power for receiver sensitivity measurements • Delivers repeatable results across all production lines with no variation over extended time • Better quality of shipped product Anritsu Confidential Information – For internal use only

  19. Network Mode: Receiver Testing • Traceable receiver measurements MT8860B is the only WLAN OBT that can measure DUT receiver sensitivity out of the box Anritsu Confidential Information – For internal use only

  20. Network Mode: Transmitter Testing • 802.11 is a “Wireless” Ethernet protocol DUT is in STANDARD link. MT8860B sends “echo request” packets to DUT. Data is re-transmitted by DUT as “echo reply” packets  measured using Tx Analyzer NO REQUIREMENT for chipset vendor “control software” Anritsu Confidential Information – For internal use only

  21. Direct Mode • Strengths • Can test a DUT that does not support baseband connections • Before MT8860B, this was the only test method available • The “traditional” approach to WLAN testing • Weaknesses • Measurements not “Real World” • Must have access to the DUT chipset vendors “control software” CSR “UniTest” software Atheros “ART” software Anritsu Confidential Information – For internal use only

  22. Direct Mode: Receiver Testing • MT8860B continuously transmits user-defined packets to the DUT • Chipset vendor “control software” counts the number of received packets  PER Anritsu Confidential Information – For internal use only

  23. Direct Mode: Transmitter Testing • DUT continuously transmits user-defined packets to MT8860B • Chipset vendor “control software” must be used to configure the DUT Tx characteristics. Anritsu Confidential Information – For internal use only
