Avoid unexpected anechoic chamber test results

Wireless device designs are becoming more complex. The primary challenges in designing stand alone or embedded antennas arise from performance expectations (gain, efficiency, pattern characteristics, etc.). Designs are becoming ever more complex with a single device incorporating multiple technologies such as cellular, WiFi, Bluetooth, LTE, MIMO, RFID and GPS. Increasing number of antenna, components co-located with the antenna, enclosures, electronic sub-assemblies, and PCBs all affect the antenna performance.

In less than a second, RFxpert's unique array of automatically switched probes calculates accurate far-field patterns and radiated power levels based on near-field measurements.

RFxpert's real-time scanning capabilities provide significant design advantages throughout the product lifecycle. Having immediate access to far-field data saves time and cost by reducing reliance upon time consuming and costly anechoic chambers. Novel very-near-field results, including amplitude, polarity and phase give insights into the root cause of antenna performance challenges and help troubleshoot far-field radiation patterns. RFxpert allows for more efficient and cost-effective solutions, project cost containment, and accelerated time-to-market.
