Wi-Fi 5 GHz (w/demo file)
Mission to be used with either V6 Plus or V6 Eco
This mission sweeps 5GHz Wi-Fi and can be used with either V6 Plus or V6 Eco.
Block diagram
This mission will use either V6 Plus or V6 Eco hardware block, the V6 Sweep Zoom, ComboView and the File Writer block.
(Optional) Callibration block
The calibration block ensures accurate measurements by compensating for the characteristics of antennas, RF limiters, and in-line attenuators. It provides a reference signal to adjust for signal losses, ensuring precise spectrum readings across all frequencies and eliminating measurement errors.
To use, simply add the calibration block from the Block menu, connect it to the RF Input on your Spectran V6, and attach any antennas you’re using.
The Mission - V6 Plus
Below is how the mission should look like, remember to use the profiles so you will see the 5GHz Wi-Fi channels and non-Wi-Fi channels below. To start the mission you need to press the "Start" button in the V6 Plus Sweep Zoom block in the ribbon-bar menu (this will start the V6 as well). Depending on the antenna you are using, you might need to change
Ref.level is set to -38dBm (only amp is enabled, not preamp) - CHANGE to lower before use!
The Mission - V6 Eco
Mission is exactly the same when using the Spectran V6 Eco, but with the additional fast sweep license it will end up being so fast that you will never miss a beacon.
Ref.level is set to -38dBm (only amp is enabled, not preamp) - CHANGE to lower before use!
Customize the mission
You can zoom into frequency of interest quite easy by using the scroll-weel on you mouse, or you can enable spectrum zoom by pressing this button on the right. This will enable the zoom menu over the spectra that you can make smaller and move around.
If you do not like the colors in the waterfal you can always change them by right-click the color pallete on the waterfal. Here you have all the color options you can dream off to customize it.
You can also add traces and customizes these as well by either right click on the spectra or from the block properties. In this mission I have added Clear/Write, Max Fall and Max Hold. These can be disabled, reset, removed from the spectra menu in the top left corner also.
