Handheld Analyzer of IEEE 802.15.4 PHY and MAC Frames

On-site analysis of a radio environment together with a decoding of transmitted frames is an essential process of wireless networks deployment. We have proposed the PHY and MAC handheld analyzer of IEEE 802.15.4 based communication, which thanks to the wide application of this standard mainly in the wireless automation domain can find the significant utilization for the testing and troubleshooting of wireless nodes complying with this standard. Within this paper the architecture, control and performance of the developed analyzer is introduced in detail.
