MBX33R – mmWave radar performance test system with 9-position target wall

MBX33R- is a complete solution for mmWave and sub-THz radar performance testing. This package includes a large chamber, a 3-axis positioner, and a set of accessories specifically designed for radar performance evaluation.

MBX33 CHAMBER- provides 10 discrete measurement probe positions. If necessary, the MBX33 chamber can be substituted with MBX32 or MBX34 for shorter or longer measurement distances. MBX33 is ideally placed on an 8-ft lab bench. Its 22” cavity size, provides enough space for multiple corner reflector radar targets.

GIM04-300X POSITIONER- is a 3-axis positioner with a 30cm DUT platform capable of holding radar modules up to 3kg. This positioner allows for independent DUT positioning along Azimuth, Elevation, and Polarization axes, at resolutions below 0.1˚. It is useful for standard radiation pattern measurements, but installed in an MBX33R it can also be programmed for radar performance evaluation.

DUT CONTROL INTEGRATION- because MilliBox software controller is provided in Python, in source, it is convenient to integrate a DUT controller within MilliBox software framework. This way, rather than connecting the MilliBox software to a traditional instrument like a VNA or spectrum analyzer, the radar DUT itself can be declared as an instrument and provides useful data directly as the sweep proceeds within the framework. As a result, for example, FFT, time-of-flight or doppler data could be plotted and rendered in 3D for easy visualization.
