In general, WLAN test equipment uses a special inspection test mode for measurement that requires a physical control line connection between the WLAN devices and the test equipment. In this configuration, the test results are not a true measure of the actual performance seen by users because the performance of the measured WLAN devices is analyzed through a physical connection with a control line, without taking into account the effect of internal wireless antennas.
The MT8862A wireless connectivity test kit is designed for the design and quality assurance of WLAN devices. It features standard WLAN protocol messaging with Network Mode to non-destructively test the transmitter and receiver performance of a WLAN device using over-the-air (OTA) measurement. The MT8862A offers faster production integration, a universal solution for all WLAN chipsets, and is easier to maintain and calibrate.
