September 2006 [Test & Measurement] Understand Requirements For WiMAX Testing High-data-rate communications as defined in the WiMAX IEEE 802.16-2004 standard may pave the way for true broadband, multimedia services over wireless networks. Based on orthogonal-frequency-division-multiplex (OFDM) techniques, the WiMAX physical-layer (PHY) and media-access-control (MAC) protocols are outlined in the IEEE 802.16-2004 standard. These protocols have inspired the development of a baseband test transceiver detailed last month in Part 2 of this article ... August 2006 [Test & Measurement] Building A Receiver For WiMAX Testing Wireless applications using WiMAX high-date-rate technology are poised for growth in the next several years. Based on orthogonal-frequencydivision-multiplexing (OFDM) techniques, WiMAX holds the promise of broadband wireless access (BWA) as part of the "last mile" of multimedia services networks. Last month, this three-part article series on WiMAX testing opened with a review of the WiMAX physicallayer (PHY) and media-access-control (MAC) protocols as outlined in the... July 2006 [Test & Measurement] Establish Test Procedures For WiMAX Transceivers Data-intensive wireless applications have sped the development of multicarrier modulation techniques, such as orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM). OFDM can overcome many problems that arise with high-bit-rate communications, such as time dispersion.1-4 Because OFDM is becoming so widespread, with applications in European Hiperlan, US wireless local-area networks (WLANs, such as IEEE 802.11a/g standards), in wireless metropolitan-area... |
