Small test chamber cuts research costs

A typical R and S TS8996 test system includes the R and S CMU200 mobile radio tester, the R and S FSP or R and S FSU spectrum analyser and a signal generator for calibration.

The new R and S R-Line test chamber from Rohde and Schwarz, combined with the R and S TS8996 test system, delivers an EMI/EMS test performance and accuracy for wireless devices that is comparable to that of systems 10 times larger.

The system can replace a complete anechoic chamber for the critical frequency range of 800MHz to 18GHz.

It is as effective up to 40GHz.

The R and S R-Line fits into any lab and will significantly reduce infrastructure investments for manufacturers and test houses.

The Rohde and Schwarz solution meets all S-VSWR validation requirements defined in the CISPR16-1-4:2007 standard.

This translates into a compact and economical solution for measurements in the microwave range that can be used in the R and D lab.

The system provides the ability to optimise factors such as radiated spurious emissions during the development phase.

This can eliminate complex modifications during the final conformance tests, which significantly reduces time to market.

Further test capabilities in the microwave range can be added with software upgrade packages.

This allows designers to determine parameters such as radiated power and sensitivity and to carry out free-space, over-the-air (OTA) performance measurements.

As a result, comprehensive RF OTA characterisation of the wireless device can begin while the device is still in development.
