Creating a Test Plan - CE 5.8G ​

The CE 5.8G option is used for EU CE (RED) certification testing of Short Range Devices (SRD) in the 1 GHz ~ 40 GHz range per EN 300 440. It is commonly used for SRD products in the 2.4 GHz / 5.8 GHz bands and covers both transmitter and receiver parameters. When creating a test plan, select the Type (technology) first: RLAN / Proprietary. Each type is described separately below.

RLAN ​

CE_5p8G_RLAN_overview

  • Title: Test plan name, entered by the user.

  • Type: Technical category, select RLAN here.

  • Num of Chains: Number of transmit chains (antennas) the product has.

  • Mode: Modes supported by the product (required): 802.11a / n / ac / ax / be. After checking a mode, select the corresponding Bandwidth (20 / 40 / 80 MHz) and TX Type (SISO / MIMO).

  • RU Config: RU (Resource Unit) configurations supported by 802.11ax / be devices. The Full RU of each bandwidth is required; select the other RU configurations according to the product's actual support. Displayed after 802.11ax / be is checked.

  • WiFi Mode: WiFi role of the EUT: AP (wireless access point) / Station (client).

  • Operation Status: Operating states of the product to be tested, multi-select:

    • TX(Modulation): Modulated signal transmission state.

    • TX(Unmodulation): Carrier wave (unmodulated) transmission state.

    • Standby: Standby state.

    • RX: Receive state.

  • Receiver Category: Receiver category: 1 / 2 / 3. EN 300 440 classifies receivers into three categories according to the product's use; the category affects the applicability and limits of the receiver parameters. Select according to the category declared for the product.

  • Antenna Gain:

    • Title: Antenna number, named sequentially by default as 1, 2, 3, 4....

    • Gain: Gain of each antenna.

    • Cable Loss: Cable loss of the RF cable from the product's antenna port to the Switch Box or the SA (spectrum analyzer). How to Create Common Cable Loss.

    • Switch Box Port: Port number of the switch connected to the product's antenna.

    • Item: Test items for each antenna; the numbers correspond as follows:

      • (C44000) Duty Cycle

      • (C44001) -6dB Bandwidth

      • (C44002) Equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.)

      • (C44003) Permitted range of operating frequencies

      • (C44004) Unwanted emissions in the spurious domain (TxSe)

      • (C44005) Unwanted emissions in the spurious domain (Standby)

      • (C44006) Adjacent channel selectivity

      • (C44007) Blocking or desensitization

      • (C44008) Spurious radiations

      The software preselects the default test items according to the technical characteristics. Note: In some cases, test parameters are mutually referenced between items; it is recommended to create the test plan with the default items.

Proprietary ​

CE_5p8G_Proprietary_overview

  • Type: Technical category, Proprietary (custom product).

  • Band: Operating band of the product: 2400 ~ 2483.5M or 5725 ~ 5875M.

  • Technology: Modulation technology of the product: Spread Spectrum / Non Spread Spectrum.

  • Mode: Custom mode table:

    • Title: Mode number; other names can be manually input according to customer requirements.

    • Nominal BW: Sets the nominal bandwidth occupied by the signal on the spectrum.

    • TX Type: Transmission type, SISO / MIMO.

    • LCH / MCH / HCH: Low / middle / high channel frequency settings (MHz).

    • CSP: Channel Spacing.

    • Action: Used to add / delete mode configuration rows.

WiFi Mode / Operation Status / Receiver Category / Antenna Gain are the same as RLAN and are not repeated here.

Advanced Setting and Special Eut Settings ​

CE_5p8G_advanced

The following settings can generally be kept at their default values. Adjust them only when the test results are abnormal or there are special test requirements.

  • Switch Box: Whether to use a Switch Box. If a Switch Box has not been purchased, select No, and the product will be directly connected to the spectrum analyzer for testing.

  • External Filter: Whether an external filter is used in the RF path during testing.

  • Env: Environmental conditions to test, multi-select: NTNV / HTHV / HTLV / LTHV / LTLV (normal temp normal volt / high temp high volt / high temp low volt / low temp high volt / low temp low volt).

  • Packet Count: Packet count, used for receiver-related tests.

  • Password: WiFi password of the CMW500, used for receiver-related tests (RLAN).

  • VSG ALC State: Power ALC state of the vector signal generator (ON / OFF).

  • Channel Config: Channel configuration, Default or Custom (manually customized channels).

  • Hide Image Elements: Select the elements to hide in report images (e.g., the Ant antenna marker).

  • RU POS Show: How the RU position is displayed in the report: POS / POS Number / POS And POS Number.

  • RU Priority: RU test priority: Full RU First / Sequence.

  • Blocking method: Test method for receiver blocking: Non-Signaling or Signaling.

  • Special Setting: Special settings. Options prefixed with [D] are debug options and do not need to be checked for normal testing:

    • [D] Virtual Data / [D] Random Data / [D] Ignore Eut Confirm / [D] Random Status: Debug options.

    • Single Ant Data of MIMO: Displays the EIRP and PSD data of each antenna for MIMO.

  • Blocking Mode: Receiver blocking test mode: Default / All.

  • 100% Duty Cycle: Whether the sample's duty cycle is 100% (Unknown / Yes / No); only needs to be selected when the system misjudges the duty cycle.
