Wi-Fi 7 is the next generation standard in WiFi technology. Wi-Fi 7 also known as Extremely High Throughput (EHT) or “802.11be WiFi” builds and improves on the current 802.11ax WiFi standard.

There are many challenges with test Wi-Fi 7 devices. The Frequency Range has been expanded up to 7.5GHz requiring ATE instruments to increase the upper end of their frequency range to cover

Wi-Fi 7 as well as doubling the information BW to 320MHz and incorporating Multi-Band/Multi Channel operation. The modulation scheme has been increase from 1024 QAM to 4096QAM.

This requires excellent phase noise of the Local Oscillators in the ATE instruments to measure these very aggressive modulation schemes. High bandwidth RF instruments are need to meas the 320MHz 801.11be signal.

This paper will describe the Wi-Fi 7 Standard. We will also provide detail descriptions of UFLEX Plus instruments UW8G and UW24G and use models for MiMo and SiSo testing Wi-Fi 7 on the UFLEX Plus platform.
