WiPAN LVSG Zigbee Signal Generator

 

WiPAN LVSG - IEEE 802.15.4 (2.4 GHz) LR-WPAN Signal Generation Tool/Overview


A key component of any test system is a signal source. Many areas including telecommunications, Wireless testing requires complex test signals that extend from several milliseconds to seconds in duration. A signal generation system is a key to rapid and accurate evaluation of transmitter/receiver performances. A quality characterization, validation, or manufacturing test system requires an accurate signal generator to reliably produce your test signals.

Seasolve's signal generation software WiPAN LVSG makes it easy to create signals for characterizing overall PHY layer performance of WPAN transmitter and receiver.

OVERVIEW

WiPAN LVSG is Baseband PHY software in LabVIEW that provides a configurable MAC, basic transmitter blocks such as bit to chip formation, Offset Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (O-QPSK) modulation (16-ary) and half sine pulse shaping as per the requirements of the Standard. It allows testing DUT’s Receiver performance characteristics like Receiver sensitivity, Jamming Resistance, PER, BER.

WiPAN LVSG signal generation tool along with NI RFSG delivers a highly flexible and powerful solution to quickly and conveniently generate IEEE 802.15.4 (2.4 GHz) compliant modulated baseband and RF test signals for scientific research, consumer electronics, communications, aerospace/defense, and semiconductor test applications as well as for emerging areas such as wireless sensor networks.

WiPAN LVSG allows modeling or adding impairments like:
Channel (AWGN/Fading)
Freq Offset Addition and/or correction
I/Q Gain Imbalance
Phase Noise
Memoryless Nonlinearity
Quadrature Skew
DC offset
Power Amplifier Backoff
