802 AWE Operation Manual
Advanced Wireless Test Set
At any given time, the total percentage utilization for the selected channel is the sum of
the individual percentage of utilization components (802.11 and non-802.11). However,
the total percentage of utilization cannot exceed 100%
For example, in the image to the right
the 802.11 percentage of utilization is
8% and the non-802.11 percentage of
utilization is 7%. So, the total percentage
of utilization for the selected channel is
15%.
In the case where a channel exceeds
100% total utilization, the graph will
display the full measurement value of
the non-802.11 percentage of utilization
as the noise oor, while the remaining
space on the graph will be occupied by part of the 802.11 percentage of
utilization. In this case, the non-802.11 percentage of utilization acts as a noise
oor that squeezes out the desired 802.11 percentage of utilization.
For example, the 802.11 percentage of utilization is 74% and the non-
802.11 percentage of utilization is 48%. So, the total percentage of
utilization is actually 122%, which exceeds the maximum percentage of
utilization (100%).
In this example, the full percentage of utilization for non-802.11 signals
(48%) is displayed at the bottom of the graph and the remaining space on
the graph will be lled with the 802.11 percentage of utilization (52%).
The remaining 802.11 percentage of utilization (22%) is squeezed out
of the graph by the non-802.11 percentage of utilization and will not be
displayed.
