Instructins included in this dcument: System Preparatin SW and Scpe Setup EVM Applicatin peratin 2. Intrductin The Wireless USB Cmpliance Cmmittee under the directin f the USB-IF, Inc., develps the Wireless USB EVM Test Prcedures. This is ne f three dcuments fr the Wireless USB EVM Test Prcedures. These dcuments are prvided as a resurce fr EVM cmpliance testing and is recmmended when cmpliance testing WUSB prducts and nly ne f the three is required fr WUSB Cmpliance Certificatin. The Wireless USB EVM Cmpliance Test Prcedures prvide a methd f verifying cmpliance parameters as defined in the EVM Test Specificatin, using a Knwn Gd Wireless USB Hst r Device as defined by the Wireless USB specificatin. In additin t passing the EVM test requirements, WUSB capable prducts must als cmplete and pass the applicable cmpliance tests identified in these dcuments in rder t be psted n the USB-IF Integratrs List and use the USB-IF lg in cnjunctin with the said prduct (if the vendr has signed the USB-IF Trademark License Agreement). This test prcedure is the USB-IF Hst and Device EVM Test Prcedures written t supprt Agilent, DSO80000 series but des nt exclude ther USB-IF apprved scpe vendrs r their equivalent hardware. 3. Scpe This USB-IF EVM Test Prcedure dcument and tests are used t evaluate the WUSB peripherals and systems perating wirelessly. These tests are als used t evaluate the peratin f wireless USB silicn incrprated in ready-t-ship prducts, reference designs, prfs f cncept and ne f kind prttypes f peripherals, add-in cards, mtherbards, r systems. This test prcedure makes reference t the test assertins in the USB-IF EVM Test Specificatin, and Wireless USB specificatin. Instructins will cver wrkstatin setup, system hardware requirements, and sftware installatin guidelines. All required prgram settings t insure the EVM tl will functin prperly. The wrkstatin setup envirnment, system hardware specificatins, and sftware installatin have been tested and prven by qualified technicians. Any deviatin may result in unpredictable behavir. WUSB testing assumes there will nt be anyway t cnnect the DUT utput (knwn as cnducted testing) r t directly put the Device int a test mde. Therefre the tests have been structured as radiated tests using Lpback prtcl defined in the Wireless USB specificatin t cycle the DUT thrugh test mdes. 4.

Hst Cmputer HW/SW Cnfiguratin 5.4.1. Recmmended system requirements: The fllwing system requirements are tested and insure the highest system stability fr the PDK. Any mdificatins t this list f hardware may result in system related failures r system crashes. 5.4.2. The listed equipment is the fficial Knwn Gd testbed used by the USB-IF and affiliated test huses fr certificatin purpses. If a specific knwn gd device cannt be btained, it may be substituted with a similar, certified device. If a substitutin is necessary, the fllwing guidelines will help t select an apprpriate replacement. 5.4.3. WUSB Hst System: The mtherbard shuld have 2 adjacent PCI slts ne t hld the WHCI WUSB Hst Adapter and the secnd prvides adequate space fr the attached PHY. The secnd cmputer must have an Embedded EHCI including 2 adjacent USB prts fr HWA WUSB dngle preferably lcated in the frnt panel. 5.4.4. When testing EVM n a vendr supprted WHCI r HWA. (Cnfiguratins such as: WUSB PCI Hst cards in desktp cmputers r integrated WUSB hsts inside laptps) A knwn gd native device r DWA is required t verify the WHCI r HWA under test. Befre EVM testing, insure the required test sftware cnfiguratin is running and the mst recent PC sftware is up t date. NOTE: If the DUT and LeCry EVM Cmpliance Test Prcedures 7 Rev 1.0 12/6/2007
system under test fails t supprt the sftware and the tls described in this test prcedure, the DUT will be recrded as a failure. 5.4.5. The prcessr speed is nt imprtant, but the fact it supprts hyper-threading is. Using a hyperthreaded prcessr significantly imprves perfrmance f multiple high-speed WUSB devices and perating the EVM test tl sftware. Memry and disk strage shuld prvide enugh strage space t eliminate insufficient resurces fr sftware. 5.5. Sftware Installatin 5.5.1. Install the latest recmmended Wireless USB-CV msi file and EVM tl sftware prvided by USB-IF. 1. Install Wireless USB-CV.msi 2. Install the Hst Channel Change Applicatin (primarily fr diagnstics purpses while testing). Recmmended but nt required when running the autmated EVM Test Mdes. This utility allws channel setting fr the WHCI and HWA cmpliance device drivers. Nte: after a change, yu must either, click the Save Settings buttn, r the Save Settings and Exit buttn fr the changes t take place. Creating a shrtcut n the desktp fr the WUSB Settings.exe is recmmended T find the WUSB Settings.exe and applicatin setups navigate t: C:\Prgram Files\USB-IF Test Suite\Wireless USB-CV\Driver\Channel Change Applicatin Rename: HWADriverRegistrySample_reg t = HWADriverRegistrySample.reg; WHCIDriverRegistrySample_reg t = WHCIDriverRegistrySample.reg When prmpted cnfirm each file rename and execute each, cnfirming the install when prmpted. Refer t 5.5 Figure 1 fr an example f the WUSB Settings applicatin GUI. Channel Number: This is the channel number that the driver will use fr radi traffic. This will be read each time the driver initializes, at start-up and als at the beginning f a new run f CV tests. 0-Length Packet: Fr diagnstics purpses and testing. Enable this setting fr prducts that expect an extra 0-length packet. When recrding the packet wavefrm, expect t see this behavir frm the HWA cntrl packets, they shuld fall n a 512-byte bundary.

5.5 Figure 1 3. Install the EVM Tl The latest EVM Tl applicatin shuld be dwnladed frm the WUSB-IF website. Use a separate cmputer t analyze data. NOTE: D nt install the sftware n the scillscpe used fr data cllectin. The EVM sftware is labr intensive, therefre it is recmmended t capture each wavefrm and pst prcess data n a separate cmputer. Once the sftware is dwnladed, duble click n the setup.exe file t install the sftware. After the EVM Tl is installed (setup.exe default: C:\Prgram Files\WMCmpTestRelease) lcate the WMCmpTestRelease.exe 5.5.2. After the sftware installatin is finished, shut dwn and restart then install hardware as described per vendr instructins r setup dcumentatin. 5.5.3. It is nt recmmended t use the same cmputer fr WUSB-CV and EVM Testing. Hwever, if the same cmputer is used, stre the EVM data analysis in a file lcatin islated frm the primary perating system disk. Create an HTML file fr each wavefrm recrded LeCry EVM Cmpliance Test Prcedures 9 Rev 1.0 12/6/2007
5.6. EVM Test Bed and Hardware Setup 5.6.1. Cnnect an antenna directly t the input f a UWB amplifier. Cnnect the utput f the amplifier t the scillscpe via a high bandwidth SMA cable. Refer t 5.6 Figure 1. In sme cases, an adapter might be necessary at the scpe frnt end. 5.6 Figure 1 5.6.2. Munt the antenna in the test prbe hlder and adjust t be rthgnal t the test bench. The DUT antenna als shuld be psitined rthgnal t the test bench. Begin with the receiving antenna 12.7cm r 5 inches frm the DUT antenna. Refer t 5.6 Figure 2. 12.7cm (~5in) 5.6 Figure 2 LeCry EVM Cmpliance Test Prcedures 10 Rev 1.0 12/6/2007
5.6.3. Insure adequate distance is placed between the assciatin device s antenna and the DUT. This gives the ability t distinguish DUT signals frm thse f the assciating device. Refer t 5.6 Figure 3. A minimum f 1m is sufficient, but may need t be mved clser fr higher data rates. Figure 1 shws an EVM testbed setup. Further discussin f antenna setup is discussed in sectin 5.7. Assciating Device (WHCI versin) Use specified hardware as illustrated in pht. (Cable, Antenna, & RF Adapter) 1m between DUT and assciating Device 5.6 Figure 3 5.6.4. While a variety f sample rates may be utilized t capture these signals, care must be taken if sample rates belw the Nyquist frequency f the highest frequency cmplement is utilized. Fr simplicity, alias prtectin, and file size ptimizatin, 20GSa/s is the recmmended sample rate fr Band Grup One MB-OFDM UWB and utilized in this dcument. Higher sample rates can be used, but will increase the file sizes. 5.6.5. Set the hrizntal reslutin t 100µs. This can be adjusted during test prcedure t give maximum reslutin f packets. 5.7. Recrd Wavefrm Data frm DUT 5.7.1. Expect tw types f WUSB devices, either hst side r device side. Hst adapters can als be fund embedded in laptp systems. Fr test setup f these devices refer t Appendix A n the USB-IF website. T prevent lss f data, the wavefrms and analyzed wavefrm data shuld be saved in a vendr specific flder islated frm the perating system drive. Befre any testing, create a knwn gd test cnditin by restring a knwn gd backup image. 5.7.2. Each DWA r Native device requires a numeric r cable assciatin between the PDK test system and the DUT. A Wireless USB cable assciatin driver is supplied with Wireless USB-CV. When testing numeric devices, the vender supprted device must supprt A CHID value f: (00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 0A 0B 0C 0D 0E 0F) Any CDID value: (example: 0F 0E 0D 0C 0B 0A 09 08 07 06 05 04 03 02 01 00) CK f all zers: (00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00) LeCry EVM Cmpliance Test Prcedures 11 Rev 1.0 12/6/2007
5.7.3. Use this driver lcatin when using the hardware install wizard t install the CK f zer driver: C:\Prgram Files\USB-IF Test Suite\Wireless-USBCV\Driver\CK_f_Zer 5.7.4. Each WHCI r HWA requires an up t date perating system including all hardware drivers running the latest versin f the WUSB-CV tl and drivers. Use a knwn gd test device when perfrming EVM lpback tests. 5.7.5. Begin with insuring the hst cmputer is transmitting using TFC1 (channel 9) via the WUSB Settings tl. Refer t 5.5 Figure 1 (nte: Sme Japanese prducts nly perate n TFC7 (channel 15)). Begin with scpe and DUT antenna adjustment befre EVM testing. (Detailed instructins t achieve equivalent amplitudes are explained later in this sectin) Nte: while running The Hst r Device Tx Lpback nly tests, Wireless USB-CV will autmatically perfrm a channel change. 5.7.6. The first fur EVM test mdes using Rates 53.3, 106.7 & 200 are required per channel fr certificatin. Time permitting, it is encuraged t run all channels and data rates supprted by the device. Save ne wavefrm per EVM Test Mde. Pass criteria is displayed using the EVM tl. The tl als generates an HTML lg file. 5.7.7. Nte: If a failure ccurs, recrd three wavefrms fr each failing channel and data rate. If adjustment t the antenna rientatin is made (discussed later in this sectin), then recrd each channel and data rate again. Autmated EVM Test Mdes 1. TFC1, Rates 53.3, 106.7, 200, 480 2.

Nte: Cmpliance Test mdes are recmmended with advanced scpe triggers by default. The test applicatin is setup t transmit 10K packets fr each test iteratin. Select Debug mde fr manual trigger methds. If a reliable wavefrm acquisitin was nt acquired with the manual scpe trigger methd, repeat the WUSB-CV test mde. 1. TD_7_53 Data lpback Supprted Rate Test: Used t verify what rates the DUT supprts when an adequate distance is placed between the assciatin device s antenna and the DUT fr adequate distance reference refer t sectin 5.6. 2. The Data Lpback Test is used fr setup and diagnstics. It prvides custmizable TX parameters. 3. In the next windw, select the Device Tx Data Only fr DWA/native device r Hst Tx Data Only fr HWA/hst, and then click OK fr antenna psitining. The next windw will ask fr a max packet size, use Table 1 belw t select the minimum packet size t be transmitted. Larger packet sizes, up t the device maximum can be entered if desired. Once a value is entered select DONE. LeCry EVM Cmpliance Test Prcedures 12 Rev 1.0 12/6/2007
5.7.10. Run the selected test iteratin, next select OK t initialize the hardware. If the DUT des nt aut cnnect, press the manual cnnectin buttn indicated by the vendr dcumentatin. 5.7.11. CV will insert the apprpriate number f symbls per packet t insure the paylad can be measured by the EVM tl. If a wavefrm was nt captured, rerun the same test. The test mde can als be interrupted while transmitting each test packet by selecting Esc twice between a reprted data transfer. This type f interruptin may require a WUSB-CV restart.

The next windw will ask fr the number f iteratins. This value represents the number f packets transmitted by the device. On the first run enter 20000, this value can be adjusted up r dwn n subsequent executins fr mre efficient data cllectin. Once the value is entered, select DONE t cntinue. 5.7 Figure 5 LeCry EVM Cmpliance Test Prcedures 13 Rev 1.0 12/6/2007
5.7.13. The PHY Rate refers t the data rate t be measured. Be sure this value cincides with the packet size chsen frm table 1. It is recmmended t chse the lwest data rate, 53.3Mb/s, as a starting pint. Once the value is selected, select OK t cntinue. 5.7 Figure 6 5.7.14. The next tw windws will ask fr MMC and device pwer levels respectively. Fr the purpses f EVM testing, zer shuld be entered fr bth windws. Select DONE in bth windws t cntinue. 5.7.15. Nte: A functinal pwer level test is required fr each WUSB device. A wavefrm pwer level cmparisn can be verified using the HTML lg file generated by the EVM tl. Recrd data fr the adjusted pwer level and cmpare the results. When pwer level testing refer t the Wireless USB specificatin fr specific pwer level settings. Each PL (0-6) cincides with the specificatin, prviding a range f 7 settings. 5.7 Figure 7 5.7.16. The DUT will nw transmit packets using the autmated test mde r at the specified data rate fr the specified number f iteratins. Once yu select Aut n the scillscpe, packets f infrmatin will begin displaying n the screen. Observe the smaller amplitude transmissins frm the WHCI/assciating device, which is psitined further frm the receiving antenna. The larger amplitude bursts cntain data packets, beacns and MMC s. Refer t figure 8. Press the scillscpe Stp buttn, then use the scillscpe s zm cntrls t zm in n the first 10 t 30 symbls f the triggering area. Yu can nw see the symbl amplitudes. Refer t figure 9.

5.7 Figure 8 5.7 Figure 9 LeCry EVM Cmpliance Test Prcedures 15 Rev 1.0 12/6/2007
5.7.17. Each symbl represents ne frequency band within the band grup. Fr TFC1, symbl ne represents band ne, symbl tw represents band 2, etc. It is imprtant t insure that each band has equivalent amplitudes. If the amplitudes are nt equal, begin rtating the receiving antenna in a clck wise manner until the amplitudes level ut. If this des nt achieve the desired effect, it may be necessary t mve the receiving antenna up r dwn, relative t the DUT antenna. Refer t figure 10. 5.7 Figure 10 LeCry EVM Cmpliance Test Prcedures 16 Rev 1.0 12/6/2007
5.7.18. Once the amplitudes are equal acrss all bands, adjust the vertical reslutin n the scpe such that the packet amplitude extends t ne divisin frm the tp and bttm f the display. This takes maximum advantage f the A/D cnverters within the scillscpe. Hwever, it is very imprtant t insure the signal des nt extend vertically utside the viewing area. 5.7.19. At this acquisitin rate, beacns will appear as very narrw bursts while data packets will appear apprximately five times wider (depending n the data rate and selected paylad size). If yu can nt see beacns and data packets n the same display, it may be necessary t adjust the scillscpe s hrizntal time scale. See figure 8. Only the 96 symbl packets are used fr WiMedia and Certified Wireless USB testing, therefre it is necessary t insure these packets are saved fr prcessing. This can be dne by randmly hitting run until the packet is captured r triggering can be setup t deterministically capture the signal, the latter is the recmmended methd. 5.7 Figure 11 5.7.20. If the test finishes befre the setup is cmplete, rerun the lpback test. It needs t be running the entire time t make sure there is a signal t acquire. 5.7.21. Use the single step feature f the scillscpe t freeze the incming wave n the display. Cntinue t d this until at least ne entire data packet can be seen. At this pint, yu can save the wavefrm in the scillscpe s native frmat (.wfm,.bin,.tfc, etc.). Use the file naming structures lcated in sectin 5.8 t name the wavefrms. These files will need t be stred n the cmputer running the EVM tl. See sectin 6 fr peratin f the EVM Tl sftware. Fr advanced trigger ptins, use the LeCry Technical Brief with the LeCry UWBTracer t enable an external trigger ptin. 5.8. Saving Scpe Wavefrm Data 5.8.1. The file name shuld cntain all pertinent infrmatin abut the acquisitin, including: TFC, data rate, and acquisitin sample rate (in giga-samples per secnd). An identifier fr the device under test is ptinal (The prduct TID number is recmmended, hwever if this is nt available use the prduct mdel number). NOTE: If the unique file name is nt included, all files fr a single device must be saved in a unique flder t avid cnfusing data frm different devices. The syntax is as fllws (case is nt imprtant; any cmbinatin f lwer and upper case is allwed): LeCry EVM Cmpliance Test Prcedures 17 Rev 1.0 12/6/2007

Preamble symbl cunt (there must be either 12 r 24 symbls in the preamble), 6.1.2.3. Preamble crss-crrelatin (crss-crrelatin f symbls must exceed 87%). 6.1.2.4. Pwer Spectral Density (PSD) (pwer spectrum must fit within defined mask). 6.1.2.5. Adjacent Channel Pwer Rati (ACPR) (the rati f pwer in band t pwer ut f band must exceed 20). 6.1.2.6. Frequency ffset (carrier frequencies must be within 20 parts per millin f specificatin). 6.1.2.7. Errr Vectr Magnitude (EVM) (errr magnitude in db must nt exceed limit based n transmit data rate). 6.1 Figure 1 6.1.3. Fr the demnstratin in this dcument, all tests are perfrmed with the exceptin f Burst Packet Timing. Select Semi-Autmatic frm the mde drp dwn menu. Als make sure default is lcated in the Template File drp dwn menu. 6.1.4. A text file will lg the results f the test by placing a check in the Lg Results blck. If a file exists, click brwse t chse the desired utput file. If n file exists, enter the path t where the utput will be LeCry EVM Cmpliance Test Prcedures 19 Rev 1.0 12/6/2007
saved and include the lg file name (ex. Results.txt). Write mde allws yu the ability t add t r verwrite an existing file. 6.1 Figure 2 LeCry EVM Cmpliance Test Prcedures 20 Rev 1.0 12/6/2007
6.1.5. Underneath the wavefrm file name windw, click the brwse buttn t lcate the wavefrm t be tested. Once the wavefrm is lcated, click add, then click OK. This will cause tw new windws t appear, ne shwing the wavefrm and the ther shwing pwer infrmatin. This is a gd chance t verify that the pwer acrss the three bands are within 2-3dB f each ther while in TFI mdes. 6.1.6. At this pint the packet select windw is als prpagated. Any packets with a check will be prcessed during testing. All data packets are autmatically checked, if yu have multiple data packets yu may chse t test all r nly specific packets by adding r remving the check marks. Once the packet(s) t be tested are identified, click the Test buttn. 6.1 Figure 3 LeCry EVM Cmpliance Test Prcedures 21 Rev 1.0 12/6/2007
6.1.7. Once the testing algrithms have finished, a cmpliance test results windw appears. This windw displays pass r fail status alng with numerical results frm the tests. 6.1 Figure 4 6.1.8. Buttns are lcated acrss the bttm f the main panel t allw viewing f graphical results related t the tests. Shw Packet Pwer and Shw Results are pen by default. Clicking Shw Cnstellatin Plt r Shw PSD Plt prduces the graphical displays shwn in figures 5 and 6 respectively. 6.1 Figure 5 LeCry EVM Cmpliance Test Prcedures 22 Rev 1.0 12/6/2007
