11.3 RF Recording Setup
For wireless recording, the UWB Analyzer uses the UWB radio on the UWB analyzer
plug-in. The plug-in module must be inserted into the right-side slot of the CATC 5K
platform.
There are two options for eavesdropping UWB traffic:
•
Wireless RF recording
• Wired RF Recording
Wireless RF Recording
Using the provided RF antenna, the analyzer can capture over-the-air wireless traffic.
Perform the following steps:
Step 1 Make sure the antenna provided with the UWBTracer analyzer is tightly
connected to the connector marked ANT.
Step 2 Position the analyzer and devices under test at an equal distance from each
other, 10 inches apart (Figure 11.3).
Figure 11.3 Wireless RF Recording
Note: RF signals and noise from external devices might affect wireless recording, as
might the transmit and receive patterns of antennas on the analyzer and devices under
test. If the recorded trace has many corrupted UWB frames, try the following:
• Try different positions of the devices and analyzer.
• Place the devices and analyzer as close as possible to each other and at equal
distance (but not less than 10 inches apart).
• Remove any potential RF radiators from the test environment or find an RF-quiet
location.
• Turn antenna in different directions
