Testronic Labs Enhances Testing Capabilities with Tekttonix UWB WiMedia

By Michelle Robart, TMCnet Editor

Providing test, measurement and monitoring instrumentation, Tektronix has announced that Testronic Laboratories, a well known test and certification center, has selected its UWB WiMedia compliance test solution to provide Wireless USB interoperability testing.



 
With high-speed communications technologies on the rise, there is an increasing need to test products to make sure they comply with industry standards. At Testronic Labs, technologies are tested using innovative test services. The Tektronix (News - Alert) UWB WiMedia compliance test solution -- comprising the AWG7000 arbitrary waveform generator, the TDS6154C ultra high performance oscilloscope and UWB spectral analysis software – offers state-of-the-art support for its activities.
 
In July, the USB Implementers Forum gave Testronic Labs accreditation as an Independent Test Lab for testing and certification of Wireless Universal Serial Bus (W-USB) products. Using the Tektronix UWB WiMedia test solution, it is able to provide compliance testing and certification services for W-USB devices to its customers, allowing them to sell products based on the Wireless USB specifications that are proven to work with other certified products.
 
When a product has achieved Wireless USB certification, it can bear the Wireless USB logo on the product and packaging, signifying to the consumer that the product has been tested and proven to interoperate with other certified W-USB products.
 
"UWB WiMedia test requirements are some of the most complex among current wideband RF standards," said Johan Craeybeckx, chief technology officer at Testronic Labs. "Tektronix UWB testing and design tools -- its fastest-in-the-industry real-time oscilloscopes and signal sources, along with UWB application software -- provide easy setup of the W-USB compliance tests in the signal generation software allowing for quick, repeatable and reliable testing."
 
"Testronic Labs is the first test laboratory in Europe to be accredited to provide compliance testing and certification services for W-USB products and we are delighted that they chose our products to achieve this capability," said Lynne Camp, vice president, Performance Products, Tektronix. "Tektronix is committed to delivering industry-leading RF test solutions with unequalled measurement accuracy and test flexibility that enable test houses like Testronic Labs and their customers to achieve certification with the latest compliance test requirements."
 
The UWB WiMedia test solution features make it ideally suited to Wireless USB interoperability testing, such as user defined IF frequency, parameter definition at Packet Group level, visual indication of hopping patterns and support for standard data rates or user defined MAC-Header.
 
The Tektronix UWB WiMedia compliance test solution for Wireless USB interoperability testing includes the AWG7000 arbitrary waveform generator, ultra-high performance oscilloscopes, such as DSA70000 real time oscilloscopes, matching probes, and UWB spectral analysis software.
