Antenna Test Chambers
AWT Global’s new ATC series low PIM Antenna Test Chambers are especially designed for testing RF devices and antennas from 700 MHz to 6000 MHz. Not only are today’s antennas required to show excellent transmission and S-parameters characteristics, due to modern modulation technologies, these antennas have to come with very low passive intermodulation distortion (PIM). Standard anechoic test chambers may provide good shielding, but they are often not suited for low PIM antenna measurements; due to their own high residual PIM. Besides the very high shielding factor of more than 90 dB, our ATC series provide lowest residual passive intermodulation. Properly designed pyramidal electromagnetic absorbing material and special manufacturing techniques guarantee best results.
Our new low PIM Antenna Chambers (ATC) are very compact and can be moved easily due to their wheeled frame. They are available in different lengths to suite customer specific applications. The table below shows standard types, customized versions or turnkey ATE are available on request.
