Product overview

The R&S®ATS1000 is a compact anechoic chamber system built for millimeterwave (mmWave) antenna and device characterization, covering the whole path from R&D to production. Because modern 5G devices have no traditional external RF connector, the R&S®ATS1000 provides a direct far-field measurement solution, delivering in roughly 1.3 m² of floor space the measurement accuracy of a chamber three times its size. It supports active and passive device measurements and testing under extreme temperature conditions, which suits it to characterizing 5G FR2 (mmWave) chipsets, user equipment (UE) and antenna modules.

Key features

  • Extremely fast and accurate 3D antenna characterization with a highly repeatable precision positioner
  • Maximum compactness: roughly 1.3 m² of floor space, wheel-mounted and movable for use across departments
  • A 0.5 m range length is enough for far-field measurement, matching the accuracy of a chamber three times the size
  • Near-field to far-field (NF-FF) transformation algorithms supported (FIAFTA and spherical wave expansion)
  • Active and passive antenna device measurement, including testing under extreme temperature conditions
  • Shielding effectiveness better than 50 dB up to 87 GHz, keeping the measurement environment clean
  • Triggered measurements together with a vector network analyzer such as the R&S®ZNA

Typical applications

  • 5G mmWave (FR2) antenna characterization and type approval
  • Chipset development verification and production test
  • Wireless performance measurement on user equipment (UE)
  • Antenna module development and optimization
  • Diagnostic testing for mobile network operators
  • Regulatory compliance and type approval
