Industry-standard Ultra-Wideband Test System Just Got Better

Ultra-Wideband (UWB), which is crucial for applications like exact location services and secure access and transactions, requires rigorous testing during research and development characterization and certification, as well as precise and effective testing in high-volume production. LitePoint's IQgig-UWB+, a UWB physical-layer testing system built specifically for UWB, fulfills the unique and demanding testing requirements of UWB. The IQgig-UWB+ builds on the functionalities of the first generation UWB tester, IQgig-UWB, the world’s first FiRa-certified UWB physical layer (PHY) tester, trusted by leading UWB chipset companies and worldwide accredited test laboratories. In addition to the full UWB use-case coverage, the IQgig-UWB+ conveniently integrates test functionalities, such as accurate angle-of-arrival (AoA) measurement capability, efficient multi-device testing, and dedicated over-the-air (OTA) test ports in one box, making it a versatile and comprehensive solution for UWB testing.

High Performance for New Generation UWB Devices

The IQgig-UWB+ seamlessly integrates VSG and VSA functionalities to offer comprehensive transmitter and receiver testing with 1.4 GHz instantaneous signal bandwidth. Its precise trigger and response mechanism enables accurate Time-of-Flight (ToF) measurements with picosecond-level precision, while its fast-switching synthesizers were designed for validating the narrowband wake-up radio to UWB packet switching.
