Evaluating IEEE 802.11ax 6GHz band WLAN performance
Summary
The MT8862A is designed to evaluate RF TRX performance of IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax WLAN devices. While developing this 6GHz band option, Anritsu also added support for 160MHz wide channels. Along with the spread of IoT devices, WLAN functions are being built increasingly into more mobile products, such as tablet PCs and smartphones, as well as into home electronics, including printers and TVs, automobiles, industrial machines, sensing equipment, etc. Solving these many challenges, especially the shortage of communications resources, by using the 6GHz band will help drive development of novel applications to promote leading-edge industrial development, which in turn, increases the urgent need for measuring instruments supporting evaluation of the RF TRX characteristics of IEEE 802.11ax 6GHz band devices. Anritsu has developed this option to extend the MT8862A functions by supporting performance evaluation of IEEE 802.11ax 6GHz band devices.
