Affordable & Flexible mm-Wave Test Chamber to Debut at EuMW 2019

mmWave technology solutions experts, mmWave Test Solutions, will be showcasing its innovative mm-Wave Radiation Pattern Test Chamber at the upcoming EuMW 2019 event in Paris. The MilliBox is an affordable and flexible solution for mm-Wave radiation pattern acquisition from 18 to 95 GHz. Its modular approach allows easy extension of the chamber for increased far-field distances if required. The system is available with one of two different sizes of 3D Gimbals: GIM1 for DUTs up to 110 mm width, and GIM3 for DUTs up to 270 mm width.

This is the first anechoic millimeter-wave test chamber suited for wide deployment across the development organization. MilliBox is available in different sizes, MilliBox-2 (far-field distance 795 mm), MilliBox-3 (far-field distance 1400 mm) and MilliBox-4 (far-field distance 2050 mm). Because the MilliBox system is modular, a MilliBox-2 can be expanded to a MilliBox-3 or 4 with one or two extension modules.

Here are some key features of the product:

  • Compact form factor, ­that fits on lab bench: 4’ x 3’ x 2’ WHD
  • Economical
  • Accurate laser guided calibration: 0.10 in horizontal and vertical plane
  • High resolution capture, up to 1° x 360 x180, 64000 points
  • Gimbal motor control, open software interface Python: Compatible with any instrument vendor
  • Modular frame design, can be expanded and customized
  • Below deck wiring for coaxial and control cable length reduction
  • Tangle free gimbal cable routing (coax, ribbon, test point, power)
  • Dual polarization horn fixture
  • Features a -50 dB (@60 GHz) anechoic mini-chamber.
