Introducing MilliBox mmWave Anechoic Chamber and Positioner System |
|
MilliBox mmWave Antenna Test System consists of a mmWave Anechoic Chamber and 3D Antenna Positioner product line. |
|
MilliBox mmWave Antenna Test System provides the following benefits:
- Compact and for individual usage, therefore always available when you need it
- Cost competitive even against DIY setups
- Modular, it evolves with your needs
- Flexible and expandable software platform
|
| |
|
- MilliBox is constructed out of modular cubes which are combined to achieve the far field distance required
- All MilliBox chambers are equipped with an instrument bay below the chamber deck, such that instruments like Spectrum Analyser and VNA are placed close to the device under test
|
|
mmWave 3D Antenna Positioners |
| - MilliBox chambers are equipped with 3D antenna positioners Gimbals.
- The positioners are made of plastic material therefore reducing stray mmWave reflection
- Positioner control interface is USB software controller via Python source code. As a result, the user can modify and augment the software capabilities easily
- The controller can run on any platform

|
|
Proxi-Flange™ Contactless Flange |
|
| - To enhance the mmW VNA test system, Eravant has introduced a contactless flange design
- Contactless Flange is a waveguide section with a novel flange design which forms the RF choke to eliminate the need of perfect mechanical connection
- Offered in 6 waveguide bands covering the frequency range of 50 to 220 GHz
- Reduces mmW setup time and increases test repeatability
