Throughput Test CasesConductive Performance

• All tests are conductive and values from the specification document for DUT are used to determine pass/fail

• Legacy and HT tests are done on channels 1, 6, 11 (2.4GHz band) and 36, 48 and 149 (5.2GHz band) data is plotted from average of channels

• HT tests were done on 20 MHz (for 2.4GHz band) and 40 MHz (for 5.2 GHZ band) channels

• Tests are performed for Unicast (TCP)
