Product overview

The R&S®DST200 is a compact RF-shielded, fully anechoic chamber designed for radiated testing of wireless devices during development. Its compact form fits on any R&D laboratory bench, so it is available at every stage of product design and optimization. The DST200 covers a wide range from 400 MHz to 18 GHz with more than 110 dB of shielding effectiveness, reproducing free-space conditions and keeping parasitic loading and detuning of the equipment under test (EUT) and its antenna to a minimum. With R&S®AMS32 software it performs TRP, TIS and coexistence tests, helping products reach a high first-pass rate at final type approval and saving time and cost.

Key features

  • Fully anechoic RF chamber covering 400 MHz to 18 GHz with more than 110 dB of shielding effectiveness
  • Optimized pyramidal RF absorber layout creates free-space conditions inside the cavity, suppressing parasitic loading of the EUT and detuning of its antenna
  • Wideband single-module test antenna (cross-polarized or circularly polarized) that the customer can replace, keeping maintenance simple
  • Unique mechanical design maintains highly effective shielding over the long term
  • Optional automated 3D positioner with servo motor control and optical position sensors for complete spherical OTA scans
  • Support structure made of a very low relative permittivity material (Rohacell) to minimize RF disturbance inside the cavity
  • Optional reference antenna for on-site calibration, keeping measurement accuracy traceable
  • R&S®AMS32 software provides ready-made test templates for TRP, TIS and coexistence testing
  • Compact benchtop design, usable in development, quality assurance, production and after-sales service
  • Raises the first-pass rate at final type approval and shortens time to market

Typical applications

  • Radiated performance verification of wireless devices during R&D
  • Quality assurance (QA) testing
  • Production diagnostics and quality control
  • After-sales service and repair diagnostics
  • TRP (total radiated power) and TIS (total isotropic sensitivity) measurement
  • Coexistence testing across multiple radio services
  • Antenna performance and pattern measurement (with the 3D positioner)
