    Anritsu Enhances WLAN Tester to Support Wi-Fi 7 2×2 MIMO

    Anritsu Corporation introduces an option that evaluates the RF transmit and receive characteristics of 2×2 MIMO as defined in IEEE 802.11be (Wi-Fi 7) for its Wireless Connectivity Test Set MT8862A (WLAN Tester). With this new expanded capability, the MT8862A supports to measure the receive sensitivity and transmit power of devices supporting Wi-Fi 7 2×2 MIMO, using the Network Mode [*], which allows devices to be evaluated under real-world operating conditions, thus helping to improve the communication quality of WLAN-equipped devices.

    Development Background

    Although the official release of the Wi-Fi 7 standard is scheduled for 2024, product development based on the draft standard is underway, with leading companies already beginning to bring their products to market. Especially, in devices for applications such as ultra-high-definition video streaming and AR/VR, large amounts of high-speed data is being handled. Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) technology is used to increase transmission speed and the amount of traffic, but the complexity of the evaluation is a challenge. Anritsu has therefore enhanced the functionality of the MT8862A, which can easily measure WLAN-equipped devices under real-world operating conditions, to enable the evaluation of devices supporting Wi-Fi 7 2×2 MIMO, which requires two antennas for each of the transmitter and receiver.

    Anritsu will contribute to improving the performance of ALMA, the unravelling of the universe, and the development of science.

    Product Overview

    • Evaluating RF TRX characterization of Wi-Fi 7 in Network Mod

    The MT8862A supports three frequency bands (2.4 GHz/5 GHz/6 GHz), a 320 MHz channel bandwidth, and 4096 QAM modulation, and the new option allows it to evaluate the RF TRX characteristics of devices supporting Wi-Fi 7 2×2 MIMO in Network Mode.

    • Easy to use and measure

    The MT8862A can perform the necessary measurements by simply connecting to the WLAN-equipped device under test. No target control settings are required, and measurements can be taken even by personnel unfamiliar with how to configure the measurement system.
