Product overview
R&S®AMS32 is OTA performance measurement software that controls a complete OTA and antenna measurement system, including 3D positioning devices and all the Rohde & Schwarz instruments in the setup. Whether you are testing mobile devices to the CTIA OTA test plan or measuring 3D radiation patterns of passive antennas, R&S®AMS32 covers the whole system and produces detailed reports to your requirements in the shortest measurement time. Its intuitive design supports over-the-air device testing and antenna measurements, meets CTIA OTA test plan version 3.7 and higher, and performs 3D antenna characterization, using near-field to far-field transformation to present far-field conditions.
Key features
- Intuitive GUI supporting the complete OTA device test and passive antenna measurement workflow
- Covers CTIA OTA test plan version 3.7 and higher, and 3GPP TS 34.114
- 3D antenna characterization, using near-field to far-field transformation (NF-FF) to reproduce far-field conditions
- Device control, system calibration and creation of custom test templates
- Sequencer runs several tests in order with little or no manual intervention
- Multiple post-processing analysis functions, with reports in HTML, RTF and PDF and 3D graphics
- Single point of control for 3D positioning devices and every Rohde & Schwarz test instrument in the system
- Supports path loss calibration, CTIA ripple testing and 3GPP anechoic chamber validation
- Built-in software update manager checks automatically for the newest version and important notices
Typical applications
- FR2 mmWave small cell OTA testing: production testing of physically small, low transmit power small cells in an OTA environment in the mmWave bands
- OTA characterization of phased array and AiP antennas: radiated characterization and optimization of antenna-in-package modules from 18 GHz to 87 GHz
- Passive antenna measurement and near-field to far-field transformation: measuring antenna patterns in a shielded chamber and deriving far-field data for large devices through calibration and NF-FF transformation
- LTE UE receiver performance OTA measurement: receive sensitivity performance testing and OTA measurement on cellular user equipment
- In-device coexistence testing of LTE with Bluetooth® and WLAN: measuring mutual interference and coexistence performance when one device runs several wireless standards at once
