ETS-Lindgren's AMS-8800 Series Antenna Measurement System is a theta arm based antenna measurement test system. This system is ideally suited for automated measurement of antenna performance of wireless devices and devices with embedded wireless functions. The AMS-8800 includes a distributed axis positioning system consisting of an azimuth rotator to rotate the AUT about the phi axis and a separate theta arm positioner to elevate the measurement antenna around the AUT.
The scanning assembly uses a dual polarized quad-ridged horn antenna mounted on the theta scanning arm. The arm moves in an arc over a low dielectric foam column that supports the AUT. The entire scanning mechanism is housed inside of an anechoic lined chamber that provides RF isolation and a near-freespace environment. ETS-Lindgren's EMQuest EMQ-100 Antenna Measurement Software provides test automation, post processing, and tabular/graphical data output.
5G FR1 Over-The-Air (OTA) test solutions are now available! ETS-Lindgren offers a turnkey package which will enable support for 5GNR SISO non-standalone [NSA] and/or standalone [SA] testing in the FR1 band.
