Anritsu Corporation has introduced an option that evaluates the radio frequency (RF) transmit and receive characteristics of 2×2 MIMO (multiple-input multiple-output) as defined in IEEE 802.11be (Wi-Fi 7) for its Wireless Connectivity Test Set MT8862A (WLAN Tester). With this new expanded capability, the MT8862A supports to measure the receive sensitivity and transmit power of devices supporting Wi-Fi 7 2×2 MIMO, using the network mode, which allows devices to be evaluated under real-world operating conditions, thus helping to improve the communication quality of WLAN-equipped devices.
Anritsu has enhanced the functionality of the MT8862A, which can easily measure WLAN-equipped devices under real-world operating conditions, to enable the evaluation of devices supporting Wi-Fi 7 2×2 MIMO, which requires two antennas for each of the transmitter and receiver.
The company will contribute to improving the performance of ALMA, the unravelling of the universe, and the development of science.
Features of the product include:
- Evaluating RF TRX characterisation of Wi-Fi 7 in network mode- The MT8862A supports three frequency bands (2.4 GHz/5 GHz/6 GHz), a 320 MHz channel bandwidth, and 4096 QAM modulation, and the new option allows it to evaluate the RF TRX characteristics of devices supporting Wi-Fi 7 2×2 MIMO in network mode.
- Easy to use and measure- The MT8862A can perform the necessary measurements by simply connecting to the WLAN-equipped device under test. No target control settings are required, and measurements can be taken even by personnel unfamiliar with how to configure the measurement system.
