Reconfigurable mm-Wave Antenna Test Chambers for 5G and Radar Applications
mmWave Test Solutions, a leading provider of cost-effective test and measurement equipment to the mmWave market, has recently announced the AC1224M – a modular mmWave antenna test chamber for 5G and automotive radar applications. This device features built-in-class mm-Wave 100 mm or 300 mm pyramidal thick absorbers with excellent reflection properties across the 5G mmWave and automotive radar bands.
The user can reconfigure the chamber size (can make it 3, 5, 10 m long) as their needs evolve and make it bigger or split it into smaller chambers. Unlike a permanently installed test range or Compact Antenna Test Range (CATR), customers will not need to spend money to get a professional team of moving people to disassemble and relocate it.
Some of the Notable Features of this Antenna Chamber are Listed Below:
Lightweight and robust
The frame structure and rigid panels provide a stabile, interlocking chamber design no matter the size of the assembled test chamber.
All parts and brackets are CNC machined and clearly marked to allow a straight forward assembly process. All needed tools are in the shipment together with clear step-by-step instructions.
Unpacking and assembling an H 240 cm x W240 cm x L 360 cm test chamber can be completed in just a few hours.
The modular format provides you versatility for changes in antenna test requirements and dynamic business environments.
A flexible, modular construction
The AC1224M modular antenna test chamber is constructed from 120 cm x 240 cm modules, and is configurable anywhere from H 240 cm x W 240 cm x L 360 cm and upwards.
The concept provides maximum flexibility so that the user can add more modules and expand the chamber as per their requirements. Or, one can take the 10-meter antenna test range and split it into two 5-meter chambers by adding end-walls and a door.
A full wall panel with 300 mm absorbers weighs 38 kg, and a 100 mm absorber panel weighs just 24 kg. This lightweight construction allows the assembly to be done by only two people.
Configuration Examples
NOTE: All configurations are available with either a 100 mm or 300 mm absorber.
