Receiver Band Sequencer Block Channels

#1 · 25/07/2023, 18:17

Hello Aaronia team,

I have used the Receiver Band Sequencer Block and it worked excellent to generate a wifi sweep through the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz.

Now I need to extend this sweep to cover the Wifi 6 Channels as well. Wifi 6 potentially has 60 channels of 20 MHz width. The Receiver Band Sequencer Block only has 31 channels. Is it possible to add more channels to the same sweep? if so, please share more information.

Thanks

At the moment the number of segments is fixed. I'll check if we can change it to be dynamic.

A post will show up if implemented.

I have noticed a new update to the Receiver Band Sequencer Block. My missions keep crashing right after I have updated the block software.

I have tried deleting the license and reinstalling, but the software keeps crashing whenever I add the Receiver Band Sequencer Block or open a file that has the block.

Please advise.

Looks like the new version of the block (which is unrelated to your feature request) requires a non-stable RTSA version. For now, please go back to version 2.4 of the Recever Band Senquencer block (Tools -> Package Shop -> Top-right hamburger menu -> Version 2.4.0.1 -> Install).

Thanks for the prompt response. I have reinstalled the 2.4.0.1 version and it works as before. However, even though I understand that the new update is unrelated to my feature request, the Receiver Band Sequencer segments stop at a max frequency of 6.0 GHz. As you know I am trying to use the upgraded capability of my VSG to generate signals in the 6E Wifi channels frequency ranges (>6GHz). Is this also part of the feature I am requesting? or is it related to something different? Please advise.

Receiver Band Sequencer 2.5 only added the option to have more than 4 output streams.

Receiver Band Sequencer 2.6 will have the option to increase the number of segments up to 128.

I am specifically referring to selecting the frequency ranges beyond 6 GHz. With the current segments in block 2.4, the max frequency you can select is 6.0 GHz.

Will the new update (2.6) have the limit increased to beyond 6GHz to be able to set the wifi 6E channels?

How soon do you expect this update to be released?

No, version 2.6 will not yet allow frequencies above 6 GHz. As measuring above 6 GHz requires a special operating mode hat has a lot more implications than just changing the limit on the input fields. Still looking if / how this can be done in a robust and efficient way.

So previously this is what we have been using to generate signals in the Wifi 5 channels (up to 5.8 GHz). We set the channels in the Receiver Band Sequencer Block and link it to the VSG V6, then transmit the signal through the wifi channels.

Now it is required to test in the channels of 6G (up to 6.425 GHz). How can this be done with the current setup if the Receiver Band Sequencer block is not capable of frequencies above 6.0 GHz??

Current setup: Upgraded Spectran V6 (with 8GHz license)

Your prompt input is greatly appreciated.

The feature is implemented within the next build.
