Spirent iGEN Interference Generator
Generates common sources of interference
Generates traffic or waveform interference, enabling throughput and other wireless tests in the presence of interference.
Generates 802.11a/b/g/n/ac traffic and common sources of interference, including Bluetooth and radar waveforms for DFS testing; supports 802.11p band to test Wi-Fi/DSRC coexistence.
The OCTOBOX iGEN interference generator creates realistic interference conditions for testing wireless devices and systems. iGEN supports 802.11a/b/ g/n/ac with the ability to generate traffic or waveform interference in the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands, including in the licensed DSRC (direct short range communications) band to test coexistence between Wi-Fi and automotive networks. Waveform interference includes tones or radar waveforms for DFS (dynamic frequency selection) testing.
- 802.11a/b/g/n/ac traffic generation in the 2.4 or 5 GHz band, including the licensed DSRC band
- 20, 40 and 80 MHz wide channels
- Replay traffic captures (PCAP files) with configurable traffic load and priority
- 2 GB of storage for captures; supports standard Wireshark PCAP format files
- Programmable channel frequency, channel width (20, 40, 80 MHz), MCS (modulation coding scheme) and WMM (wireless multi media) priority
- Built-in frequency synthesizer for generating On/Off Keying waveforms in the frequency range of 500 to 6000 MHz
- Built-in programmable attenuator: 60 dB range, 0.5 dB steps
- Convenient single cable Ethernet/ PoE power and control interface, filtered for isolation
- DSRC and Wi-Fi coexistence
