Rohde & Schwarz has tuned its mid-range measuring instruments to handle WLAN signals in line with IEEE 802.11ac.
New options extend the baseband of the SMBV100A vector signal generator to 160MHz, supporting high-speed modes for WLAN IEEE 802.11ac. An external PC is not needed.
In the 5GHz ISM band, the SMBV100A offers 0.44% EVM for 160MHz signals.
The analyser can now be used to record and demodulate a WLAN IEEE 802.11ac signal in its full bandwidth of up to 160MHz.
Both the SMBV100A and the FSV cover not only WLAN but also all important standards such as GSM/EDGE, 3GPP WCDMA, HSPA, LTE, NFC and Bluetooth.
