F9681A Manufacturing Chamber

Verify 5G FR2 Devices Over the Air

Quickly Check Device Behavior

Millimeter-wave (mmWave) frequencies introduce new challenges for radio frequency (RF) testing. Devices must be calibrated, characterized, and verified over the air without direct connection to test equipment. Path loss is significant at these high frequencies and beam transmission and reception require careful adjustments for accurate measurement. These challenges add more complexity to production test facilities.

The F9681A manufacturing chamber is a compact solution for testing 5G mmWave devices. Combined with a Keysight test platforms such as the E6681A EXM-WB or the E7515B UXM 5G and a radio head such as the M1740A mmWave transceiver, the F9681A completes the solution needed to test devices over the air. Sized to fit in a rack or on a bench, the chamber is useful for repair, production, and benchtop testing.

The compact size of the F9681A makes it easy to quickly check antenna behavior over the air. Whether in a rack on a production line or on a repair bench, the F9681A is an ideal solution when space is important.

Nominal

The mean or average characteristic performance, or the value of an attribute determined by design. This data is not warranted and measured at room temperature, about 23 °C.

Test 5G FR2 Devices with a Compact Chamber

The F9681A manufacturing chamber is a compact solution for testing 5G mmWave devices. Sized to fit in a rack or on a bench, the chamber is useful for repair, production, and bench-top testing used manually or with automation.

  • Quickly verify 5G FR2 device behavior over the air using four horn antennas with adjustable positions

  • Minimize path loss with integrated switches and mounting space for the radio head located close to horn antenna connections

  • Simplify configuration with two types of antennas, integrated switches and a pneumatic door easily controlled via Ethernet
