The N8300A is a one-box RF parametric test set targeting manufacturing and design engineers who need a standard-compliant 802.16d and/or e physical layer (PHY) test tool for fixed and Mobile WiMAX™, and/or WLAN Tx and Rx applications. Based on an architecture comprising an integrated Vector Signal Analyzer (VSA) and Vector Signal Generator (VSG), the N8300A provides a graphical user interface, a SCPI interface and consistency of software and measurements with industry leading WiMAX R&D test tools that enables fast test development.

The new option 404 (MIMO/Multi-port Connectivity) has Broadcast mode, providing parallel, multiple device-under-test (DUT) receiver calibration and test. Broadcast mode can transmit the same signal from all four ports (RF In/Out 1 to 4) simultaneously, individually or any other permutation. Notably full high output power is always available on all ports under all permutations. This gives faster receiver calibration and test leading to the greatest device throughput.
