According to Agilent, the N4010A Wireless Connectivity Test Set is the industry's first ZigBee/IEEE 802.15.4 one-box test solution. Engineers now have a cost-effective, efficient means of ensuring their solutions are in full compliance with the ZigBee/IEEE 802.15.4 standards. The N4010A test set promotes design confidence through accurate, repeatable measurements, expediting the design cycle and time-to-market for ZigBee devices. The test set operates with vector signal analyzer (VSA) software, creating a one-box solution that tests chipsets, modules and devices for compliance with ZigBee/IEEE 802.15.4 standards. The test set also can be configured to test to WLAN and Bluetooth technology standards. The test solution provides full demodulation and accurate, repeatable results for greater confidence in designs. The use of industry-standard VSA software provides a familiar interface to make performing measurements easy.
