The CR-M8 from MVG World is a Mini-Compact Range test solution that operates from 18 to 110 GHz. It has been designed to enable cost effective testing of microwave and millimeter-wave antennas, with a quiet zone diameter of up to 0.5 m.
The CR-M8 is a compact, accessible test tool for testing small antenna designs. The chamber provides easy access to the DUT positioner and compact range feed area. A compact range feed polarization rotator enables the transmit polarization to be changed during a single test or in between tests. Linked axis motion of the transmit rotator and roll axis allows for automatic acquisition of E & H plane patterns in a single test. The AL-4164 /AL-4162 controller supports the control of up to four (4) axes and allows for simultaneous motion if required. The data acquisition and analysis workstation is equipped with MVG software, that allows for versatile and powerful data acquisition and analysis.
The CR-M8 measures 150 (L) x 86 (W) x 195 (H) and is well suited for mmWave antenna measurement, mmWave OTA testing and automotive radar testing. A complete system (RF, VNA, controller, camera, ventilation, PC, etc.) can be powered up with a single touch. The test setup is mounted on a caster assembly for convenient transportation between different production or test sites.
