The AD-HTS644 from Adaura Technologies is a 64-Channel Handover Test System that operates from 500 to 6000 MHz. It provides up to 95 dB of attenuation with step size 0.25 dB across 64 individually controllable RF channels from 512 attenuators. The 4-Output Test System can handle an input power of 28 dBm and has a VSWR of less than 2:1.
The AD-HTS644 requires a DC supply of 5 V and consumes less than 3 A of current. It also supports the IEEE802.3at Class 2 compliant Power over Ethernet (PoE) for input power. The included graphical user interface (GUI) allows the attenuators to be easily programmed for fixed attenuation, swept attenuation ramps, and/or fading profiles directly. It also has USB/ethernet interface and a keypad panel.
The device is available in a rack-mountable enclosure that measures 19.00 x 8.75 x 24.00 inches with N-type/SMA female connectors. It is ideal for deployment in semiconductor test & qualification labs, MIMO-Multipoint Radio Fading Simulators as well as in specialized automated test equipment (ATE) and for Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi 6, LTE, 5G applications.
Handover test systems are used to assess the performance of interconnected wireless devices under real-world operating conditions in a lab environment. Device manufacturers and network engineers can use handover test systems and their various signal attenuation mechanisms to simulate the complex effects of variables like distance and interference. This helps to improve the robustness of their network and optimize the performance of their RF equipment.
