LitePoint Corporation, an industry leading provider of advanced wireless test solutions, announces support for Mobile WiMAX on the IQmax one-box test system. Based on an integrated Vector Signal Analyzer (VSA) and Vector Signal Generator (VSG) architecture, the single-box IQmax Test System can test critical WiMAX physical layer parameters for developers, volume manufacturing test and quality assurance (QA) stations at the lowest possible cost.

“This latest software upgrade of the IQmax Test System demonstrates the flexibility of the one-box test solutions from LitePoint and shows our continued commitment to our customers to provide the lowest cost-of-test manufacturing and Q/A solutions in the market,” said Greg Ravenscroft, President / Advanced Development at LitePoint Corporation. Mr. Ravenscroft continued, “After pioneering advanced WiFi, MIMO, and Bluetooth test solutions, LitePoint now also offers similar testing capabilities for fixed and mobile WiMAX products.”

The IQmax Test System supports the IEEE 802.16e-2005 / WirelessMAN OFDMA (mobile WiMAX) and 802.16-2004 / WirelessMAN OFDM (fixed WiMAX) physical layer standards including all bandwidth and data rate options.

Included with the IQmax Test System is the intuitive and richly featured IQsignal for WiMAX Analysis Suite. This GUI driven software presents the user with all IQmax instrument set-up, control and analysis functions needed to measure the performance of a Device-Under-Test (DUT). With this tool, many analysis functions are available, including time domain RF and I&Q graphs, frequency spectrogram, power spectral density, constellation diagrams, EVM per symbol or subcarriers and peak, average power levels and many other functions.

The software is capable to do automatic detection of most critical signal parameters – including bandwidth, rate ID, cyclic prefix, 16e burst map, etc. – simplifying capture and analysis of complex WiMAX waveforms.

To support automated laboratory and manufacturing floor testing, a C++ compatible API is included with the IQmax Test System which enables fast testing with limited user-interaction.

The IQmax Test System is software upgradeable for easy transition to future enhancements of the WiMAX standard or software feature enhancements and product upgrades.

The IQmax Test System is available now. Contact LitePoint for a demonstration of the IQmax Test Solution at +1-408-456-5000 / email: sales@litepoint.com or your local LitePoint Distributor at www.litepoint.com/company/contact.php
