An undersized and speedy measurement system for Wi-Fi radiation performance is presented. To overcome the lack of a standard measurement system for the newly released standards, we adopted the non-signaling mode emulator to our system. To realize this, a physical interface between the control PC and device under test (DUT) is added to support direct chip control techniques. Some peripheral hardware devices and a test program are developed as well. To provide much faster test environment in both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Wi-Fi band, we modified the test method and introduced a sensitivity prediction algorithm to our system. A new optimization algorithm is also embedded into the new test program to obtain more accurate results. The test results with 18 mobile phones show a good agreement within an acceptable tolerance level when compared to the commercial chamber one. The extended scope of the proposed system covers not only the legacy 802.11b/g/a standards but also the recently commercialized 802.11n/ac standards.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
