MCS Test Equipment, Providing State of the Art Technology

LitePoint IQflex®, an all-in-one test instrument, for manufacturing testing of 802.11a/b/g/n WLAN products, such as network interface cards, access points and embedded components.  With the appropriate software option, IQflex can also be used to test Bluetooth-equipped devices.

IQflex integrates a vector signal analyzer (VSA) for analyzing device transmitted signals, and a vector signal generator (VSG) for injecting precisely structured signals into a device’s receiver.

The tester’s VSA, for example, replaces traditional spectrum analyzers and power meters, enabling you to analyze a device’s transmitter output and perform true error vector magnitude (EVM) measurements. The tester’s VSG replaces a discrete signal generator. The combination allows you to fully test whether the production unit meets the WiFi standard’s specifications. For complete product details see IQflex’s brochure and datasheet.

Benefits:

• Truly one-box tester (OBT) solution – IQ­flex includes the functionality of VSA, VSG, power meter, spectrum analyzer, RF switches and RF attenuators.
• Improved yields – Accurate and consistent measurements allow tighter test limits, reduced product retest and improved manufacturing line capacity with increased outgoing product quality levels.
• Independent simultaneous Rx and Tx measurements – With the optional dual test head capability, IQ­ex decreases effective overall test time for optimum factory throughput.
• Easy to use – Visual C++® DLL automated test program interface reduces need for test engineering resources during test development.
• Customizable – IQ­flex is a test solution based on an 802.11 platform design, which is customizable to the unique needs of the high volume manufacturer
