Developing and implementing testing for Wi-Fi shares many of the same challenges you would expect in testing any wireless or RF technology. With the new TR-398 Issue 2 test plan, a strong focus has been on creating a repeatable set of test procedures, setup, and configurations. It’s been necessary to ensure the testing can produce repeatable pass or fail results from absolute performance requirements.
This focus sets the TR-398 testing apart from much of the other...
Test and measurement specialist Rohde & Schwarz and the University of New Hampshire Interoperability Laboratory (UNH-IOL) extend their ongoing collaboration to expand Ethernet and InfiniBand compliance testing. Both have pooled their expertise to provide methods of implementation (MOI) for precise, fast and error-free compliance testing of high-speed cables and backplanes in line with IEEE 802.3 (up to IEEE 802.3ck) and InfiniBand standards (up to rate designator HDR), using vector network analysis test equipment from Rohde & Schwarz.

Power over Ethernet (PoE), is a technology for ethernet end devices that provides the ability to transmit and receive data, in addition to receiving power over the same cabling. It defines Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) which usually takes the form of an Ethernet Switch, and Powered Devices (PD) which are the end devices in need of power and vary greatly depending on their intended application. PoE has greatly simplified the design and installation of these applications
Over the past...
