The Wireless LAN feature set (N4010A Option 102/103)
combines a fully-calibrated vector signal generator and
wide bandwidth signal analyzer into a single test set,
which enables efficient and repeatable WLAN module
test from R&D through to production. N4010A Option
108 provides the software license for the 802.11n MIMO
modulation analysis measurements within the test set.
The N4010A test set also works with the Agilent 89601A
and 89607A Vector Signal Analyzer software. This
software provides the flexibility to make a broad range
of measurements for evaluating wireless formats in the
2.4 GHz or 5 GHz band, including ZigBee/IEEE 802.15.4.
The test set will meet its warranted performance after
one hour within the stated environmental operating
range plus 40 minutes after turn on. Unless otherwise
stated all specifications are valid over the temperature
range 20 to 30 °C. Supplemental characteristics are
intended to provide additional information, useful in
applying the instrument by giving typical (expected),
but not warranted, performance parameters. These
characteristics are shown in italics or labeled as nominal.
N4010A Introduction
The Agilent N4010A Wireless Connectivity Test Set is a
measurement solution that enables efficient and lower
cost test for products and components that incorporate
Bluetooth® wireless technology, Wireless LAN (WLAN),
and other emerging wireless connectivity technologies.
The Bluetooth (N4010A Option 101) feature set provides
the ability to connect to Bluetooth version 1.1 and 1.2
devices in either test mode or normal mode, and make
measurements in accordance with the Bluetooth RF test
specification. Bluetooth EDR link plus measurements
(Option 107) add BTv2.0+EDR support and Enhanced
Data Rate (EDR) measurement capabilities.
Bluetooth audio generation and analysis (Option 113),
simplifies Bluetooth audio test configurations and
provides cost-effective functional test of Bluetooth audio
devices by performing a basic set of audio measurements.
Headset profile (Option 112) enables testing of Bluetooth
voice channels, audio gateway, and headset products.
The N4017A Bluetooth® Graphical Measurement
Application, a PC-based software product, works in a
complementary manner with the N4010A test set and
provides the ability to fully configure the test set and
display both numerical and graphical results.

1. Performance of the N4010A signal source or signal analyzer over wider
temperature (specified later in this document) applies to all the Bluetooth tests
listed.
2. Normal mode measurements made with hopping on, NULL packet, and no payload.
3. Internal sequencer enables three measurement channels to be measured
consecutively. Measurements on all 79 Bluetooth channels are supported.
4. Example, using the 10 MHz reference with accuracy of 10 Hz (1 ppm), at frequency
of 2.402 GHz, frequency accuracy would be in the range ±((2.402 GHz x 10 Hz)/
10 MHz) ± 100 Hz = ±2402 Hz ± 100 Hz = ±2502 Hz.
