IQfact(TM) Design Verification Test (DVT) Software Reduces WiFi MIMO Product Characterization from Days to Hours.

SUNNYVALE, Calif. -- Created in partnership with key IC vendors, IQfact DVT helps wireless chipset, ODMs/OEMs and brand owners design, manufacture and sell products that meet standards and buyer expectations.

LitePoint Corporation, an industry leading provider of advanced wireless test solutions, announces the Design Verification Test functionally for its IQfact(TM) Test Program family. It ensures quality and reliability at all stages of the supply chain for wireless chip makers, device designers and OEMs, so that products get created, made and shipped on time and earn optimum profits. Completely validated in partnership with key IC makers, each IQfact DVT program is individually designed to operate with a specific 802.11a/b/g legacy or WiFi MIMO chipset. It can automatically produce test results for product verification, characterization and validation in just hours instead of days of engineering time. Running on LitePoint IQnxn(TM) MIMO Test System, IQfact DVT program data logging options generate internal test reports or custom document using MS Excel. http://www.litepoint.com/wireless_test/iqfact/dvt.php

"The IQfact DVT program is a true breakthrough in quality wireless device testing," said Greg Ravenscroft, President/Advanced Development at LitePoint Corporation. "It can eliminate the trust gaps between chipmakers, product designers and device makers, because now they all can use a methodology that can definitively report on complete parametric measurability over a wide range of operating conditions for the chip, the design and the eventual product. This gives each stakeholder the ultimate in supply chain transparency, which will reduce time to market and costs while increasing supply chain goodwill. IQfact DVT complements our IQfact Production Test Software offering a common platform from chip creation through wireless device manufacturing."

IQfact DVT test software for design verification applications is a comprehensive set of WiFi physical layer transmitter and receiver tests, covering a large set of channels, data rates and channel bandwidths. It supports both 802.11 a/b/g legacy and the latest WiFi MMO parametric tests. Transmitter tests include power, EVM, frequency error and spectral mask. Receiver tests include Rx PER profile over a power level range, given power level and at max power. Test options include all or selected channels, data rates and bandwidths. Run-time options include DUT configuration, test flow, test limits and data logging options. Used directly out of the box or modified to specific needs, it works with the LitePoint API (supplied with the IQnxn MIMO Test System) and a supplied special test driver for the WiFi chipset under test to run parametric test which can be optionally compared to test limits.

IQfact DVT joins other available IQfact mass production test programs spanning legacy WIFI chipsets, MIMO WiFi chipsets and Bluetooth(C) chipsets. IQfact test programs are available in single-user and site-license versions. Time-limited demonstration versions are available for customer evaluation.

LitePoint is constantly releasing new and updated IQfact programs. A current list is available from your local Litepoint or LitePoint at [e-mail].
