Wi-Fi 6E Passive Components And RF Test Systems

What is Wi-Fi 6E? This refers to the IEEE 802.11ax-2021 standard that was approved in February 2021. In addition to the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, it also utilizes new spectrum in the so-called “6 GHz band” that covers from 5.925 – 7.125 GHz.

In anticipation of this development, over the last few years JFW has introduced numerous new products to support testing the full range of frequencies allotted by Wi-Fi 6E. Available passive RF components now include:

• Programmable Attenuators that cover 200-8000 MHz: 50P-2109 (TTL) and 50P-2111 (USB)
• Terminations that cover DC-8 GHz: 50T-007 (2W, N male) and 50T-653 (5W, N/SMA/TNC)
• Reactive Power dividers covering 2-8 GHz: 50PD-634 (2-way), 50PD-638 (4-way) and 50PD-647 (8-way)
• Resistive Power dividers covering DC-7.2 GHz: 50PD-870 (4-way) and 50PD-871 (8-way)
