The WLAN Test Toolkit 17.0 enables designers and engineers to generate and analyze a wide range of 802.11ax-compliant waveforms, including extended single-user, multi-user OFDMA, and multi-user multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO), with user-specific measurement and configuration results. The toolkit helps users address new access point-intensive test cases by generating signals that simulate multi-user environments, including user-specific pairings. Engineers also use the new software to generate trigger frames to test the real-time response of client devices and perform relative center frequency and power precorrection measurements.
 
With WLAN Test Toolkit 17.0 and the second-generation VST, engineers can configure up to 8x8 MIMO systems in a single PXI chassis. Users can also expect EVM measurements better than -50 dB, resulting in rigorous device characterization and reliable test results. Furthermore, engineers can control their systems using the toolkit's analysis and generation front panels and benefit from numerous LabVIEW, C, and .NET system design software APIs and sample code when programming and automating their systems.
 
WLAN Test Toolkit 17.0 expands NI's extensive product portfolio to test 802.11a/b/g/j/n/p/ac/ax, Bluetooth, 2G, 3G, 4G, FM/RDS, GNSS, and low-power wireless Internet of Things (IoT) standards. The platform-based technique helps ensure users can upgrade their existing PXI RF test systems to support 802.11ax device testing with a simple software update and continue to do so as the 802.11ax standardization process evolves. Engineers can leverage this smarter RF testing technique to reduce their testing costs and better prepare for future connectivity and cellular standardization initiatives, such as 5G.
