Berkeley Varitronics Systems Announces Calibrated, Demodulating WiMAX Test Receiver

Metuchen, NJ - Berkeley Varitronics Systems, Inc. announces its first calibrated, demodulating WiMAX test receiver called YellowFin.

Berkeley's newest WiMAX testing tool, YellowFin, is the only handheld WiMAX testing solution capable of complete spectrum analysis as well as WiMAX packet demodulation. The receiver sweeps 2.0 - 5.9 GHz to within +1.5 dB accuracy and includes RSSI measurements for Cell-ID & segment, multipath analysis and CINR (Carrier-to-Interference-plus-Noise-Ratios) on a preamble basis. An internal 12-channel/satellite GPS receiver allows for geo-coded WiMAX site surveys and drive-studies using optional mapping software. The YellowFin's GUI is Samsung's latest Q1 Tablet UMPC that includes an Intel core solo 1.3 GHz processor and 7" WSVGA touch screen.

"We're proud to be first-to-market with a calibrated, demodulating WiMAX analyzer. YellowFin is the perfect solution for the rapid build-out of WiMAX networks we are now seeing everywhere.", says Scott Schober, BVS President & CEO.

YellowFin is available now. visit www.bvsystems.com for a detailed white paper featuring YellowFin details.

YellowFin utilizes the Samsung Q1 Ultra tablet UMPC as an interface in conjunction with Berkeley's precision receiver technology for complete spectrum analysis as well as WiMAX packet demodulation. The receiver sweeps the 2.0 - 5.9 GHz spectrums to within +1.5 dB accuracy. YellowFin performs full spectrum analysis allowing RF engineers to see the whole wireless network picture. Features include power triggers, peak hold/search, markers and multiple waveform traces. WiMAX packet analysis includes RSSI measurements for ID cell & segment, multipath analysis and CINR (Carrier-to-Interference-plus-Noise-Ratios) on a preamble basis. The optional DF (Direction Finding) Antenna allows engineers to pinpoint sources of WiMAX interference, rogue base stations and even nearby hackers.
