DFS Radar Simulator and Analyzer Test Suite (Discontinued)

The DFS Radar Simulator and Analyzer Test Suite is a qualified solution for testing the compliance of commercial equipment operating in the 5 GHz to 6 GHz UNII frequency band in accordance with published Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) requirements. With an easy to use task orientated user interface, it is an ideal solution for pre-compliance work on new commercial devices. The test suite is also used in leading compliance laboratories around the world and compliant with USA, European and Japanese published standards for DFS radar simulation and response analysis.

The system is compliant with USA, European and Japanese published standards for DFS radar simulation and response analysis.

The DFS application provides an intuitive, user-friendly interface with the ability to easily generate and play compliant radar signature waveforms and then view and measure how the EUT responds.

DFS testing requirements are of particular importance for commercial products based on IEEE 802.11a, ac (WiFi), wireless telephones, unlicensed IEEE 802.16 (WIMAX) applications as well as other unlicensed devices operating in the UNII band. The solution comprizes PXI 3000 Series modular hardware and software to simulate DFS radar signatures and synchronously analyze the Equipment Under Test (EUT) responses. PXI 3000 Series modules are supplied integrated into a choice of PXI chassis with a system controller hosting the DFS Radar Simulator and Analyzer application software.
