- One MG3710A/MG3710E supports pulse, chirp, and hopping signals.
- External PC not required. Simply selecting the prepared waveform pattern outputs various signals using the MG3710A/MG3710E built-in Sequence function.
- Offers 5.3-GHz band waveform patterns adopted by Japan MIC standard in July 2019
DFS Test Setup (Example)
- One MG3710A/MG3710E supports pulse, chirp, and hopping signals.

Sequence Function and Combination File
Sequence Function
This standard function switches and outputs multiple waveform patterns
continuously. Standards-compliant test signals can be created by combining
complex patterns of pulse, chirp, hopping, and null signal waveforms. Clicking
“Sequence Restart” on the right starts output of the DFS test signal according
to the standards.
Combination File:
Users can output pulse, chirp and hopping signals for DFS tests easily just by
selecting a combination file with this sequence information.

[Supplement] What is DFS: Dynamic Frequency Selection?
Japan MIC Standard (Reference: TELEC-T403) specifies use of frequency bands
from 5.3 GHz (5.26/5.28/5.30/5.32 GHz) and 5.6 GHz
(5.50/5.52/5.54/5.56/5.58/5.60/5.62/5.64/5.66/5.68/5.70
GHz) for the WLAN 5 GHz band. Since these are the same frequency bands as used
by meteorological radarNote and marine radar, these pulse signals are obliged
to use Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) technology.
FCC 06-96 requires the same tests for 5.25 to 5.35 GHz and 5.47 to 5.725 GHz.
Note: Weather radar locates precipitation by transmitting pulse bursts every second. Interference from wireless LAN can be mistaken for precipitation. Therefore, use DFS to confirm the absence of weather radar before starting operation.
