The Azimuth Channel Emulator ACE™400WB/Wi-Fi is a stand-alone Wi-Fi test platform that accurately emulates multipath characteristics with channel correlation, enabling real-time performance testing of Wi-Fi devices. The ACE™400WB/Wi-Fi combines dynamic channel modeling techniques, RF control with intuitive device configuration and test automation to enable efficient and repeatable testing
The ACE™400WB/Wi-Fi does bi-directional emulation of up to 32-channel 4x4 MIMO systems and features 6 built-in 802.11n specified models that allow users to recreate typical Wi-Fi scenarios for accurate performance testing. This real-world emulation in a lab environment replaces traditional wireless field tests that are time consuming and lack repeatability.
The ACE™400WB/Wi-Fi enables users to:
- Reliably and accurately test performance of Wi-Fi systems over range and in motion in multipath environments
- Quickly analyze test data enabling faster identification and resolution of all system design elements that reduce performance
- Streamline device testing by providing direct connections to 802.11 devices and eliminating external RF devices
- Test MIMO algorithms and debug errors
- Reproduce accurate results through the use of RadioProof™ enclosures.
Using Azimuth's DIRECTOR™-II Test Executive software, tests run on the ACE™400WB/Wi-Fi Channel Emulator can be fully managed and automated reducing time to market. In addition, results of tests run on the ACE™400WB/Wi-Fi Channel Emulator can be easily analyzed and shared using Azimuth's STUDIO™ Test Data Management software.
ACE 400WB/Wi-Fi is unique in its ability to perform dynamic bi-directional channel emulation of up to 32-channel 4x4 MIMO systems for thorough point-to-point multipath performance analysis. Azimuth also offers the ADEPT-n MIMO test platform, a functional test platform that simulates a static channel for repeatable point-to-multi-point testing. The ACE 400WB/Wi-Fi and ADEPT-n combine to provide customers with the most comprehensive MIMO-enabled Wi-Fi test capability in the industry
