RF test box enables shielding in excess of 80dB at 6GHz

The frequency range from 300 MHz to 6 GHz makes it suitable for a variety of wireless communications applications, such as detecting production errors in mobile devices or antenna pattern errors, performing end-to-end tests on WLAN routers, or testing radar sensors in automobiles.

The R&S TS7124 can be installed in a 19in rack. The interior dimensions of 300 mm x 334 mm x 480 mm (W x H x D) offer sufficient space for testing even large DUTs. The box can also be equipped with an antenna ring for the placement of multiple antennas.

Users can flexibly create their own radiation patterns and measure the radiated power for selected orientations. The new, optionally available Vivaldi antennas ensure reliable and reproducible measurements.

The box can be used in the development lab, but is particularly suited for the production line with its automatic or manual open and close functionality. Its robust design permits more than a million open and close cycles without any impact on the shielding effectiveness.

The special "soft close" feature makes additional protection during automated operation unnecessary.
