Chapter 2: Hardware Description
This chapter describes the CATC 5K-based UWBTracer/Trainer™ Analyzer and
Exerciser and other components and accessories that accompany it.
2.1 CATC 5K Platform
CATC 5K Platform
The CATC 5K is a lightweight and modular platform, designed to be mobile and flexible.
The two front slots can accommodate up to two plug-in modules with a variety of options.
The CATC 5K platform is powered by a small external power supply. Quiet built-in fans
provide all the necessary cooling.
Connection to Host Machine
The CATC 5K platform connects to a Windows
®
-based PC (the host machine) through a
single USB cable. Though the system can operate over USB 1.1 protocol data rates, it is
advisable to use a USB 2.0 connection between the Analyzer and the host machine to
obtain faster upload of traffic.
2.2 UWBTracer/Trainer Analyzer and Exerciser
The basic UWBTracer/Trainer analyzer configuration includes a CATC 5K platform and a
UWB Analyzer plug-in module (UW002MA or UW003MA) that is inserted into the
right-side slot.
In addition, the USB Analyzer plug-in module (US007MA) can be inserted into the
left-side slot and be used for capturing USB Association traffic, retrieving the information
required for pairing two WUSB devices. See “USB Cable Association for Certified WUSB”
on page 224 for more information.
The UWB Exerciser plug-in module can be inserted into the left-side slot and be used for
traffic generation.
