How do you /know/ you have stable channel conditions? There are a lot of things that could be going on inside the devices you're testing on. It doesn't have to be channel noise coming in an antenna. For example, your computer could be generating rapidly changing noise spurs from some clocking sources. Try firing up the spectral scan mode on the NIC and plot the data. See if there are any abnormal peaks going on over time. And a large / long A-MPDU could be measured in milliseconds of length. the original poster didn't say which rate(s) they are trying with and how much margin (SNR) the receiver is seeing. Pulling out EVM from the received A-MPDU frames would also be helpful.
