WLAN Test

"The speed of generation and measurement of RF signals using NI RF modular instruments increased testing throughput at a very cost-effective price point when compared to alternative solutions."

- Dana Redington - Redwolf Technology LLC

With the NI WLAN Measurement Suite, you can perform common IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n measurements with industry-leading speed and accuracy. Combined with high-performance multicore processors, PXI Express wireless local area network (WLAN) measurement systems can complete most 802.11 measurements five to 10 times faster than traditional box instruments. In addition, the WLAN Measurement Suite is compatible with one-, two-, three-, and four-channel PXI RF vector signal generators and analyzers. Using phase-coherent multichannel RF instruments, you can improve the measurement accuracy of your multiple input, multiple output (MIMO) designs. All WLAN test systems are flexible and software-defined, and are able to test a wide range of wireless devices including GPS, GSM/EDGE, WCDMA, WiMAX, FM, Bluetooth, and ZigBee.


National Instruments modular hardware and graphical software tools can help decrease the cost and increase the flexibility of wireless local area network (WLAN) test.
