With RSA-IQWIMAX and the RSA3408A, engineering teams will be able to more quickly detect, diagnose and resolve design issues improving time to market for WiMAX end-user products, including consumer electronics, computers and handheld devices.

RSA-IQWIMAX provides spectrum and modulation measurements on OFDM and OFDMA signals in accordance with IEEE802.16-2004 (fixed) and IEEE802.16e-2005 (mobile) WiMAX standards.

The RSA3408A captures intermittent or random events that other solutions will miss enabling engineering teams to detect, diagnose and resolve design issues more quickly.

The combination of RSA3408A real-time spectrum analyser with RSA-IQWIMAX software is the world's most powerful WiMAX R and D test solution, enabling engineers to perform needed time-, frequency- and modulation-domain measurements to decompose signals and uncover anomalies, and generate in-depth analysis for troubleshooting WiMAX devices at the design stage.

'With digital RF technology accelerating the move to packet oriented network technologies like WiMAX, packet collisions and spurious signal detection becomes much more complex'.

'In addition, WiMAX services may be sharing spectrum with other services operating asynchronously making interference detection very difficult but critical to proper operation'.

'The RSA3408A with its unique ability to trigger, capture, and analyse transient RF phenomenon is an ideal tool for WiMAX designers', said Rick King, Vice President, Real-Time Spectrum analyser product line, Tektronix.

'The RSA3408A combined with the spectrum and modulation measurement capabilities provided by RSA-IQWIMAX software creates a highly-efficient and effective test set, providing WiMAX research and development engineers the world's fastest time to market for new component and module designs'.

RSA-IQWIMAX analysis software is used on an external PC connected to the RSA3408A by Ethernet or GPIB.  Optionally, an engineer may load captured data and analyse the results offline.

Test results from the RSA3408A and RSA-IQWIMAX software can be tightly integrated with LitePoint's IQmax WiMAX test system to form an integrated end-to end test solution from R and D through manufacturing test.
