Anritsu og MVG samarbejder om support af Wi-Fi 7

Wi-Fi 7 retter sig mod streaming af ultra-high-definition video, multi-bruger AR/VR/XR samt immersive gaming og underholding. Udvikling af den type udstyr stiller imidlertid stor krav til måleinstrumenteringen (in english).

Anritsu Corporation announces a new solution that combines Microwave Vision Group's (MVG) multi-probe OTA (Over The Air) test systems with Anritsu's Wireless Connectivity Test Set MT8862A to support IEEE 802.11be (Wi-Fi 7) OTA measurements.

Wi-Fi 7 is a standard designed to achieve high throughput for use cases such as ultra-high-definition video streaming, multi-user AR/VR/XR, and immersive gaming and entertainment. It is already being integrated into high-end smartphones, AR/VR devices, routers, and is expected to see further adoption in the future.

Advanced technologies such as 320 MHz channels, 4K QAM, and MLO (Multi-Link Operation) are incorporated in Wi-Fi 7. For device vendors, ensuring and guaranteeing the RF performance of their products is a critical challenge. Therefore, the comprehensive evaluation of RF performance, including OTA measurements, is becoming increasingly essential.

This solution leverages Anritsu’s MT8862A to generate and analyze Wi-Fi 7 signals within MVG’s multi-probe OTA test systems, enabling manufacturers to efficiently perform Wi-Fi 7 RF evaluations through fast and stable measurement. Using the MT8862A's network mode, RF evaluation can be performed at all data rates of major WLAN standards, including Wi-Fi 7. The setup allows for the measurement of key parameters such as Total Radiated Power (TRP) and Total Isotropic Sensitivity (TIS).

- Integrating the MT8862A with our OTA systems brings the stability and speed needed to evaluate Wi-Fi 7 performance at every stage of development. It ensures a streamlined workflow for engineers seeking to validate EHT (Extremely High Throughput) performance, says Sun Kim, Product Manager at MVG. 

Keita Masuhara, Product Manager, IoT Test Solutions Div., Anritsu Corporation, adds:

- We are pleased to be able to provide high-quality Wi-Fi 7 OTA measurement solutions through our collaboration with MVG. We will continue to collaborate with industry leaders like MVG to provide our customers with a more stable and efficient measurement environment.

Seamlessly integrated within MVG’s WaveStudio platform, combining Anritsu’s instrumentation, combined with MVG’s advanced test chambers, provides a reliable and high-performance testing framework for verifying Wi-Fi 7 device compliance, helping wireless device manufacturers optimize their product development and validation processes.
