Key facts
- Phased antenna array to form plane waves within a ø > 1.05 m quiet zone
- No near-field to far-field transformation required
- Four times smaller than CATR based systems
- Built-in self-test features
- For R&D and production testing
Key facts
The R&S®PWC200 plane wave converter is uniquely designed for 5G massive MIMO base station testing solutions in R&D, quality assurance and production as well as over the air (OTA) conformance testing. It has a bidirectional array of 156 wideband Vivaldi antennas in the radiating near field (NF) of the device under test (DUT). The phased antenna array can form planar waves inside a specified quiet zone surrounding a 5G massive MIMO base station DUT for real-time radiated power and transceiver measurements (EVM, ACLR, SEM, etc.).
