E6680A Wireless Test Set Configuration Guide

Verify Your Wi-Fi 6E and 802.11be Designs

Look to the Future with a Solution for WLAN Testing

Signal bandwidths up to 320 MHz – twice the bandwidth of 802.11ax signals today – and 4096 quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) are two of the biggest changes introduced within the physical layer (PHY) of this new technology.

Keysight’s E6680A Wireless Test Set is ready. Verifying Wi-Fi 6E and 802.11be devices is quick and easy with bandwidth to 800 MHz and frequency to 7.3 GHz. Generating and analyzing 1024QAM and 4096QAM signals uses application software based on Keysight’s familiar PathWave Signal Generation and X-Series Applications.

Optimize Throughput Without Sacrificing Flexibility

More bands and more antennas would seem to add test time and reduce throughput. The 32 ports of the E6680A flexibly test multiple bands, multiple antennas, and multiple devices supporting many use cases.

Select software applications

Software applications are purchased once for use with all TRX installed in the E6680A. Software applications purchased with new hardware are installed before shipment. Additional software applications can be added later with a software license.

Software applications installed before shipment include a node-locked, perpetual license with 12-month support. To purchase other license types and terms, order the software separately. Then, the end user redeems the licenses and installs the software.

Software applications are based on Keysight’s PathWave Signal Generation and Signal Analysis software with modifications to support chipset control, sequencing, and parallel test.

Two types of applications are available. Select one or both types to use with the hardware. V-Apps (e.g., V9080EM0E) provide uplink measurement analysis. Y-Apps (e.g., Y9080EM0E) provide downlink arbitrary waveforms and uplink measurement analysis.

Add Services

Hardware support is provided by KeysightCare. Keysight’s E6680A Wireless Test Set includes KeysightCare Assured First Year Support (R-55A-001-1) by default. Two-, three-, and five-year extensions are available along with KeysightCare Enhanced upgrades for one, two, three, and five years. For details, visit www.keysight.com/find/keysightcare.

A one-year return to Keysight Warranty (R-51B-001-C) is included by default.

Product assistance is available for solution startup and other custom services. For details, contact your Keysight representative or visit www.keysight.com/find/services.

Configure Upgrades

Add new TRX to an existing chassis to increase capability for testing multiple devices and MIMO. One bandwidth and one frequency option are required for each TRX. New TRX are installed in a Keysight service center.

All other upgrades add capability to existing E6680A test sets with license-only upgrades installed by the end user and no hardware changes.
