Preparing for Wireless Recording
For wireless recording:
1. Make sure the antenna provided with the
UWBTracer/Trainer analyzer is tightly connected to the
connector marked ANT.
2. Position the analyzer and devices under test at an
equal distance from each other, 10 inches apart.
Note: RF signals and noise from external devices might
affect wireless recording, as might the transmit and receive
patterns of antennas. If the recorded trace has many
corrupted UWB frames, try different positions of the
devices and analyzer and place the devices and analyzer
as close as possible to each other (but not less than 10
inches apart).
Wired Recording: You can use coaxial cabling to connect
the wireless device and analyzer, as illustrated below.
Because antennas are not used, external interference
should not affect the recording.
Note: The attenuator values shown are only examples. You
may need to use different values according to the PHYs
used, their signal strengths, and your setup.
Preparing for Wireless Traffic Generation
For wireless recording:
1. Make sure the antenna provided with the
UWBTracer/Trainer analyzer is tightly connected to the
connector marked ANT.
Note: To meet FCC Part B requirements, UWBTrainer
is equipped with reverse polarity radio and antenna
connectors. This configuration does not affect RF
behavior in any way but does require that all
customer-supplied antennas have reverse polarity
connectors.
2. Position the UWBTracer/Trainer system facing the
devices under test (at least 10 inches apart).
Wired Traffic Generation: You can use coaxial cabling to
connect the wireless device directly to the UWBTrainer
generator. Because antennas are not used, external
interference should not affect the recording.
Starting the Application
To start the application, launch the LeCroy UWBTracer/Trainer program:
Start > Programs > LeCroy > UWBTracer/Trainer > LeCroy UWBTracer
The UWBTracer/Trainer program opens.
Note: You can use the software with or without the UWBTracer/Trainer connected to the host. Without the analyzer, the program
functions as a trace viewer to view, analyze, and print trace files.
