MBX32E – sub-THz OTA antenna test system with frequency extender mount

MBX32E- is a complete OTA solution for frequency ranges starting at 50GHz up to 330GHz. For those frequencies, it becomes impractical to run coaxial cables to the DUT and to the probe. Therefore, compact frequency extenders from Eravant or other brand can be mounted on-board the DUT platform and the probe post, providing a local waveguide interface.

As a full system, MBX32E starts with a standard MBX32 chamber and a GIM04-300E positioner. Then it is completed with a frequency extension kit (EXTxx), where xx is the standard waveguide size needed.

MBX32 CHAMBER- provides 4 measurement distances 50cm, 60cm, 70cm and 80cm. If necessary, the MBX32 chamber can be substituted with MBX33 or MBX34 for longer measurement distance. MBX32 is ideally placed on a lab bench with a footprint of 34” by 64”.

GIM04-300E POSITIONER- features a specially designed DUT platform which can mount compact transmit frequency extenders from Eravant or other brands. The special probe post is designed to mount compact receiver frequency extenders. It has a laser target for initial alignment.
