N7617B Signal Studio for WLAN 802.11a/b/g/n/ac

Create 802.11 WLAN waveforms

The N7617B Signal Studio for 802.11 WLAN software is designed to create flexible standards-based baseband and RF signals for testing IEEE 802.11 WLAN components and receivers. For component test, the application provides partially-coded, statistically correct waveforms for stimulus/response testing. For receiver test, the application provides flexible configuration of MAC header, full channel coding, spatial stream mapping, and application of channel models for testing 802.11n and 802.11ac MIMO receivers. All channel bandwidths up to 160 MHz are supported for 802.11ac. The flexible product structure also features fixed and transportable, perpetual and time-based licenses so that you only pay for the capabilities you need while you need them.
