Antenna and RF Test and Characterization Suite
About
This is a suite of test equipment that is suitable for characterizing RF and Microwave circuits and systems as well as material dielectric characterization, NFC characterization as well as antenna characterization.
Description
Tyndall’s Antenna and RF Test and Characterization Suite includes key items such as the ETS Lindgren AMS-8050 Antenna Measurement System supports testing a wide range of portable wireless devices and mobile handsets in free-space or using a head and hands phantoms up to 10 GHz. The AMS-8050 is a compact, fully anechoic RF enclosure for over-the-air (OTA) testing. It is used for antenna and wireless device measurements including pre-certification testing, design verification, performance verification, and production sample testing.
