The test requirements of IEEE 802.16-2004 for WiMAX transmitters and receivers can be incorporated into the experimental tester for evaluating the performance of WiMAX devices.
The baseband test receiver designed for WiMAX testing performs extensive packet detection, frequency offset measurements and correction, and a variety of symbol detection and processing.
By understanding WiMAX signals and how they can be impaired by distortion and noise, it is possible to construct a baseband test receiver for evaluating performance per IEEE 802.16-2004.
