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.

Use an an antenna made for these frequency ranges, for example the OmnliLOG 90200 have huge loss at 5GHz because it is simply a 700MHz – 2,5GHz antenna. Use instead the OmniLOG® PRO or OmniLOG® 30800 antenna.

(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

Always use an RF-Limiter or at least a bandpass that fits the Freq span.

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.

Always use an RF-Limiter or at least a bandpass that fits the Freq span.

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.
