IEEE 802.15.4-based
ZigBee-Ready
Signal Generator
ZRSG-0100
Accelerate ZigBee Product Development
Validate System Design
& Simplify Testing
Helicomm’s IEEE 802.15.4-based,
ZigBee-Ready Signal Generator (ZRSG-
0100)
helps semiconductor vendors
and OEMs simplify the process of inter-
operability and compliance testing. The
powerful DSP-based, PHY Baseband
and MAC software along with easy-to-
use graphical interface allows you to
quickly and conveniently generate
15.4-compliant modulated Baseband
test signals. Validate the receive chain
of your IC design, test
product manufacturing
process stability, and pre-
certify products prior to
submission to a certified
ZigBee interoperability test
house.
The
ZRSG-0100
works
across all three IEEE
802.15.4 radio bands —
including 2.4 GHz,
915 MHz and 868 MHz —
providing you with bit-level
control over a complete 15.4 data
stream. Easily generate and test all
ZigBee frame types (Beacon, Data, ACK,
Command) in either burst or continu-
ous mode. The flexible Channel Mode
feature allows you to model signal/noise
ratio, in-band interference, multi-path
loss and frequency offset. The
ZRSG-
0100
also supports Guaranteed Time
Slots, BPSK and O-QPSK modulation
techniques, with a full suite of security
and encryption options.

Eliminate
the need for
customized
PHY Baseband
and MAC
testing tools —
while saving
development
time and
money.
