5X00594G01 Module Testing Equipment
5X00594G01 with a full-featured computer, coupled with some of the related hardware and software interfaces developed by R&D personnel, it is actually possible to quickly design a set of inexpensive, practical, and easily reproducible WLAN module detection equipment. System enhancements to the physical layer (PHY) wireless digital signal processing algorithms can be used to verify the performance of the system design of the physical layer (Tx PHY) at the transmitter side, or the quality of the relevant signal processing algorithms at the receiver side.
With the 5X00594G01 Data Acquisition Card, the most critical will be in writing the associated signal processing routines, which is exactly what R&D people who understand the specifications specialise in, so it’s usually a matter of time, not difficulty. Is it worth doing this or not? In the case of this article, the front-end conversion circuitry, for example, shouldn’t be too difficult for a slightly more experienced hardware engineer. The back-end real-time I-Q signal analysis program should be even easier for a Netcom operator. It does not take a long time, but in return, there is an opportunity to significantly reduce the production cost.
The 5X00594G01 with VSG (Vector Signal Generator) can be used to evaluate the performance of transmitter-receiver (Tx-Rx) hardware design, and it can also be provided to the production line for verifying the performance of the product’s base frequency. Of course, if the UP Converter and DOWN Converter circuits are added, it can be used as a real WLAN related product test bench.
