Product Overview
The WCA11G is an IEEE802.11a/b/g signal analysis software that performs a
signal analysis of 5 GHz band high-speed wireless LAN transmitters (IEEE802.11a
standard) and 2.4 GHz band high-speed wireless LAN transmitters (IEEE802.11b
and IEEE802.11g standards).
You can configure an analysis system for the IEEE802.11a/b/g LAN transmitters
by using the WCA11G software in combination with the WCA330/WCA380
Wireless Communication Analyzers. This system provides OFDM/DSSS
modulation signal spectrum power analysis, constellation display, modulation
accuracy measurement (EVM), a symbol table, center frequency deviation
measurement, and spectrum mask.
Table 1-1 shows all the measurement items available in the WCA11G

This subsection contains instructions for installing the WCA11G software on your
PC and provides information about the created folders.
PC System Requirements
Installation Instructions
Your PC requires the following minimum system requirements to install and
operate the WCA11G software:
OS: Microsoft Windows 98SE / Windows 2000 / Windows XP
CPU: Pentium III Processor, at least 866 MHz
RAM: At least 512 MB
HDD: At least 100 MB available memory
Display resolution: At least 1280 x 1024
Network card: Ethernet card of 10BASE-T or 100BASE-T
The following installation instructions require that you are familiar with the basics
of using the MS Windows operating system. If necessary, read your MS Windows
user documentation before installing the WCA11G software.
Perform the following procedure to install the WCA11G software:
1. Be sure that your PC meets the requirements listed under PC System
Requirements on page 1-8 before proceeding with the installation.
2. Insert the WCA11G IEEE802.11a/b/g Signal Analysis Software CD-ROM
into a CD-ROM drive on your PC.
3. Double-click the My computer icon.
4. Double-click the D: drive icon (substitute your CD-ROM drive letter if it is
different from D). The PC will display the contents of the WCA11G Signal
Analysis Software CD-ROM.
5. Open the DISK1 folder.

6. Double-click Setup.exe in the folder.
This copies initial files of the WCA11G software. For a while, the Welcome
window appears on the PC desktop. Follow the on-screen instructions.
7. If the installation completes successfully, the Setup Complete window appears.
Click the Finish button.
Created Folders
When the installation completes properly, the following folders are created:
C:\Program Files\Tektronix\WCA11g. This folder contains the WCA11g.exe
program and other related files. The related files include the parameters required
for communication and analysis. Do not delete or change the files.
C:\Program Files\Tektronix\WCA11g\CWX. This folder contains the graphic display
formats. Do not delete or change the files.
C:\Program Files\Tektronix\WCA11g\ShareFolder\CFG. This folder contains the
WCA330/WCA380 configuration files and trigger files. The analyzer refers to
these setting files. Since the remote controlled analyzer directly accesses these
files, the CFG folder must be shared.
C:\Program Files\Tektronix\WCA11g\ShareFolder\Data. This folder contains the
measurement result files of the WCA11G software.
C:\Program Files\Tektronix\WCA11g\SystemDefault. This folder is used to recall the
factory default settings of the WCA330/WCA380 instruments.

NOTE. The following procedure requires that you are familiar with the basics of
using the MS Windows 98/MS Windows 2000/MS Windows XP operating systems.
If necessary, consult the MS Windows documentation.
Sharing the Folders on a
PC
Since the analyzer accesses the setting file in the PC through a network, you must
share the setting files of the PC. Otherwise, an access error will appear on the
analyzer display upon execution. Allow full access to ShareFolder. See Figure 1-2
