Technical Deep Dive
Multi-Link Test Architecture
Features "Tri-Band RF Front-End + 4096-QAM Analyzer" design: Three independent RF paths cover 2.4/5/6GHz bands simultaneously (Source: Frequency bands). Hardware-accelerated DSP achieves best-in-class EVM for 4096-QAM validation. Internal combiners enable multi-link operation (MLO) testing without external hardware. FPGA-based processing supports OFDMA multi-RU (MRU) assignments and 802.11az positioning. Expandable architecture scales to 16x16 MIMO configurations.
| Technical Dimension | Test System | Traditional Solution | Advantage |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6GHz Band Testing | Native 6GHz support (5925-7125MHz) | Requires external frequency converters | Eliminates 3dB conversion loss for accurate EVM measurement |
| Multi-Technology Support | 15+ wireless standards in single chassis | Limited to 2-3 technologies per system | Reduces test station footprint by 70% for IoT device validation |
Wi-Fi 7 Multi-Link Operation Test Workflow
Connection: Connect AP's 2.4/5/6GHz antenna ports to system, enable Wi-Fi 7 MLO license
Configuration:
- Set 320MHz bandwidth at 6GHz band
- Configure multi-link: 2.4GHz (40MHz) + 5GHz (160MHz) + 6GHz (320MHz)
- Activate 4096-QAM modulation testTesting:
- Measure aggregate throughput across all bands (>40Gbps)
- Verify seamless band switching during MLO operation
- Validate MRU assignments in OFDMA modeCertification: Generate WFA compliance report with spectral mask/EVM measurements
Thermal Management Boundary
Continuous 320MHz operation at 6GHz increases internal temperature by 18°C (Based on thermal design). Mitigation: ① Enable dynamic cooling control; ② For extended tests, reduce analysis bandwidth to 160MHz per chain.
