系统支持移动电话lular testing capability with SISO radios per the Cellular Telecommunications and Internet Association (CTIA) Test Plan for Mobile Station Over-the-Air (OTA) performance. As required for OTA testing, this chamber supports testing for both Total Radiated Power (TRP) and Total Isotropic Sensitivity (TIS) measurements according to the CTIA specifications. The test system is compliant with software and hardware requirements defined by the CTIA for testing mobile handsets.

OTA testing of mobile handsets

Element's Over-the-Air test program is designed for testing various antenna devices and mobile handsets, with or without a simulated human head or hand. This includes mobile stations, handsets and the incorporation of pre-certified modules at the system level. Our OTA testing system includes CTIA approved software and hardware in our fully anechoic chambers in accordance with CTIA certification specifications.

Antenna Pattern Measurement test methods for OTA testing

Element’s Engaged Experts utilize Antenna Pattern Measurement methods for testing various types of antennas and receivers, providing you with a range of measurement accuracy according to your project needs. We will work with you to create a customized testing program for your specific product requirements, for greater accuracy, and faster turnaround times.

Our antenna pattern measurement labs

Our AMS-8923-195 lab includes a multi-antenna array that houses twenty-three (23) dual-polarized measurement antennas spaced every 15º. The turntable/positioner for the device under test (DUT) provides continuous rotation along the phi axis with minimized reflections through the use of low dielectric materials in a fully anechoic room (FAR).

Element’s antenna pattern measurement labs are equipped with a goniometer to improve 3D resolution from 15º down to 1º as needed. An integrated laser alignment system assists with DUT positioning, and with an integrated high-speed switch controller, the system provides fast switching between antennas for accelerated testing.

Element offers Antenna Pattern Measurements techniques for the following:

  • 400 MHz – 6 GHz
  • 3D and 2D patterns
  • Bluetooth
  • WiFi (802.11), ZigBee (802.15.4), ISM, SRD, UHF RFID, MedRadio- MICS bands
  • Antenna efficiency and directivity measurements
  • Absolute gain
  • Complete 3D Passive and active measurements in under 5 minutes per run
  • Design and evaluation for antenna designers and system integrators
