802.11ad Waveform Generation and Analysis Testbed
Reference Solution
To help address these test challenges, the 802.11ad waveform generation and analysis
testbed, reference solution provides a combination of hardware, software, and measure-
ment expertise, the essential components of a flexible 802.11ad generation and analysis
test platform. The reference solution enables engineers and researchers to generate and
analyze 802.11ad signals at baseband, IF, RF, and mmWave frequencies.
The reference solution includes the 81199A Wideband Waveform Center software from
Keysight Technologies, Inc. for creating and analyzing waveforms with two pieces of
hardware – a precision AWG and a vector signal generator with wideband I/Q inputs.
The combination of hardware and software enables generation of wideband test signals
with up to 2 GHz of modulation bandwidth at frequencies up to 44 GHz to support a wide
range of possible IF frequencies. Frequency coverage in V-Band is obtained through the
use of an upconverter. A wide bandwidth oscilloscope performs signal demodulation at
IF frequencies by digitizing the signals and passing them to the software for analysis.
A downconverter can be used to translate 60 GHz signals into an IF usable by an
oscilloscope.
Figure 1 below shows a conceptual arrangement of the software and hardware elements
and Figure 2 shows a combination of Keysight hardware and software for the 802.11ad
generation and analysis testbed.
