Testing the 2.4, 5, and 6 GHz Bands in IEEE 802.11ax

Nov. 18, 2022
Designing Wi-Fi 6E WLAN products requires simultaneously assuring 6 GHz performance in addition to the existing 2.4 and 5 GHz bands.

The IEEE 802.11 WLAN (Wi-Fi®) standards up to the 802.11ac version define two usable frequency bands of 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. The 802.11ax revision released in 2021 added a 6 GHz band, increasing the number of usable bands to three. However, with 6 GHz band devices covering the 2.4, 5, and 6 GHz bands while also making efficient use of current designs, it is not easy to confirm the required performance. Learn how to assure the required performance for each band.
