Introduction
This guide characterizes the
performance of the N4010A wireless
connectivity test set and the
89601A vector signal analysis (VSA)
software combination. The N4010A/
89601A combination adds the
flexible digital demodulation and
analysis capabilities of the 89601A
software to the frequency coverage
and capabilities of the N4010A.
This guide also characterizes the
performance of the N4010A and the
89607A wireless LAN (WLAN) test
suite software combination. The
N4010A/ 89607A combination allows
for quick and accurate standards-
based transmitter testing for
IEEE 802.11b/g formats.
Product Overview
N4010A wireless connectivity
test set
The N4010A is a test set designed to
quickly and accurately measure
emerging wireless connectivity
formats in the 2.4 GHz band. The
N4010A offers two bandwidth
selections of 5 and 22 MHz, making
the N4010A an ideal test platform
for Bluetooth™ and WLAN RF
measurements. The N4010A with
Bluetooth Option 101 is an effective
measurement tool for development,
integration, pre-qualification, and
volume manufacturing. Use Option
N4010A-101, with eight different
Bluetooth RF cases, for making
transmitter and receiver measure-
ments as defined in the Bluetooth 1.1
RF test specification. The Bluetooth
test set also includes an internal test
sequencer to shorten test and devel-
opment time. The N4010A with
WLAN Option 102 includes integrat-
ed source and receiver hardware to
verify that 802.11b/g modules and
devices meet their RF design
requirements.
89601A VSA software
The 89601A VSA software provides
flexible tools for making RF and
modulation quality measurements
on digital communication signals.
Analyze a wide variety of standard
and non-standard signal formats
with the 89601A software. Standard
signal presets cover GSM, EDGE,
cdmaOne, cdma2000, W-CDMA,
Bluetooth, 802.11a/b/g, and more.
For emerging standards, the 89601A
software series offers 24 digital
demodulators with variable center
frequency, symbol rate, filter type,
and filter alpha/BT. A user-adjustable
adaptive equalizer is also provided.
