The RTS65 reverberation chamber is designed to optimize the time you spend on OTA measurements. Our development focus has been on increasing the productivity in your lab. We want your focus to be on the results, not the test equipment. We have developed a generation of RTS chambers that is an integrated system which will give every engineer the user experience they deserve. The latest addition to the RTS65 includes up to 16 sub-12 GHz measurement ports and innovative solutions supporting 5G measurements including directive and isotropic measurements in the 28 and 39 GHz (FR2) mmWave bands.
RTS25 is a reverberation chamber dedicated to OTA measurements in the 2.4 and 5 GHz ISM bands as well as the new 6–7.125 GHz band, targeting Wi-Fi 6e. Typical applications include all versions of Bluetooth and WLAN, and other IoT standards operating within these frequencies.
Despite the small size, the test zone in the RTS25 accommodates wireless devices within 40x30x30 cm. We have optimized the measurement space in the chamber so that as many DUTs as possible can be tested. The RTS25 offers developers of small devices like access points, laptops, speakers, medical aids, and smart home solutions, an excellent tool to test your wireless performance.
Total Radiated Power, TRP, measurements will identify how good your transmitter and antenna design is. A TRP measurement takes around 1 minute per channel to do in the RTS25.
Total Isotropic Sensitivity, TIS, is a measurement that characterizes your receiver and antenna design. By sending a signal to your device, while lowering the power, you will see at which point your receiver loses the signal. A good receiver design performs well at low signal power levels.
Data throughput is quickly becoming the most common measurement for high performance devices today. Designers need to verify that they can maintain high data rates under all the conditions that the device is designed for. Throughput measurements in RTS25 characterize the data rate versus signal power showing when the device drops in throughput, or worse, disconnects.
MIMO technology requires a multipath environment to be able to work. The reverberation chamber enables a multipath environment thanks to the reflective environment inside the chamber. You do not need to add any expensive extra equipment to simulate the multipath environment. You have this in the chamber by default.
WLAN MIMO
The RTS25 comes with up to 4x4 MIMO functionality as standard. You are up and running with your MIMO measurements immediately, just as fast and easy as your SISO measurements. RTS25 is the perfect test system for your WLAN 802.11ax measurements for example. An access point, a client and the RTS25 are all you need to get MIMO up and running.
Interference testing
Another useful measurement you can do with the active multi-antennas is the interference measurement, or co-existence test. Test how good your WLAN performs when you have a Bluetooth interferer. Or how good your Bluetooth performance is when you have another Bluetooth interferer. With the 8 multi-antenna option, you can upgrade your chamber and measure up to 8 streams in the chamber.
The ISS11 Attenuator is used with an external access point or device and controls the path loss in the measurement. It can support any WLAN 802.11 standards with up to 4x4 MIMO including Wi-Fi 6e, the limitation being the connected access point used for the measurement. ISS11 is flexible and can support other applications like 802.11p and other IoT standards. The ISS11 Attenuator contains insertion loss calibration information for accurate measurements on 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz and the new 6 GHz bands.
The TRU1 WLAN Reference Unit is a dual band WLAN reference radio that can be set to both access point mode and WLAN client (station) mode. It enables data throughput measurements in both uplink and downlink direction. The WLAN radio supports 802.11ac Wave 2 with 4x4 MIMO as well as all the legacy WLAN standards (802.11a/b/g/n).
