Technical Deep Dive
Advanced OFDMA Test Architecture
Features "Multi-User Packet Engine + IQsniffer Analysis" design: Patented Packet Engine™ technology emulates up to 8 simultaneous OFDMA users for power/timing control verification (Source: Input description). IQsniffer option captures MAC/RF PHY layer interactions across all streams. FPGA-based processing enables real-time 1024-QAM analysis with residual EVM < -45dB for Wi-Fi 6 certification. Configurable 2/8/16 port models support up to 8×8 true MIMO testing without external combiners.
| Technical Dimension | IQxel-MW | Traditional Tester | Advantage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wi-Fi 6 Certification | Integrated OFDMA precorrection + IQsniffer | Requires external protocol analyzers | Reduces Wi-Fi 6 certification time from 2 weeks to 3 days |
| Production Scalability | 16-port model tests 8 DUTs simultaneously | Single-DUT testers require parallel systems | Cuts test station footprint by 75% for same throughput |
Wi-Fi 6 Router Test Workflow
Connection: Router 8×8 antennas to IQxel-MW 16-port model, enable Wi-Fi 6 and OFDMA options
Configuration:
- Set 160MHz bandwidth at 5GHz band
- Configure MU-MIMO: 8 spatial streams
- Activate OFDMA test: Emulate 4 simultaneous usersTesting:
- Measure EVM for 1024-QAM (<-40dB)
- Verify multi-user throughput at 2402Mbps per stream
- Validate OFDMA resource unit allocation with IQsnifferCertification: Generate Wi-Fi Alliance compliance report with OFDMA precorrection data
Multi-DUT Test Boundary
Maximum 8 DUTs tested simultaneously requires 16-port model (Based on port configuration). Mitigation: ① For production lines with >8 DUT stations, deploy multiple IQxel-MW units; ② Use IQfact+™ software to manage multi-station synchronization.
