Product overview

The R&S®CMQ500 is a compact, fully integrated OTA test solution for 5G device testing across a wide range of applications. Its drawer concept supports fully automated device loading in a manufacturing environment, and its robust mechanical design delivers reliable measurement results in R&D. The flexible cube design covers smart devices, CPE, RFICs and prototypes. The R&S®CMQ500 is ready for 5G FR1 and FR2 signal testing, covering 0.7 GHz to 77 GHz. For the best accuracy and repeatability, use it with the R&S®CMX500 radio communication tester or the R&S®CMW500 wideband radio communication tester.

Key features

  • Ready for 5G FR1 and FR2 signal testing (0.7 GHz to 77 GHz)
  • Forms an optimized OTA test system with the R&S®CMX500 and an RRH, for R&D environments
  • Best OTA system accuracy and measurement repeatability
  • Small footprint, fits into a 19" rack (10 HU)
  • Flexible antenna and probe positioning with a universal swivel mount, covering many quiet zone positions
  • Drawer concept supports fully automated device handling in manufacturing
  • Several cable feedthrough options, so cables can be kept short to optimize the link budget
  • Fixed geometry needs no positioner, which keeps test times short
  • Supports horizontal and vertical device placement for different antenna array layouts
  • Welded main frame, robust enough for millions of open/close cycles

Typical applications

  • OTA performance testing of 5G smart devices (phones, tablets)
  • Verification of 5G connection quality on customer premises equipment (CPE)
  • Antenna characterization of RFICs and 5G prototypes
  • Regression testing and production quality control of 5G devices on the manufacturing line
  • 5G FR1 and FR2 network-emulated signaling tests in R&D
  • Shielded-environment testing of UWB and mmWave devices
