Conducted beamforming test applications

Verifying beamforming antenna circuitry

Easy-to-use test and measurement solutions simplify and speed up this process

The overall system of a beamforming antenna can only operate as effectively as its driving electronics allow. For 5G mmWave (FR2), typical RF implementation uses highly integrated beamformer ICs that allows cost-effective scaling of the antenna arrays to improve the directivity and antenna gain in the direction of the main lobe. The latest standards also offer system-level gain using MIMO and massive MIMO approaches. Using signals from multiple MIMO channels improves system capacity and stability. Rohde & Schwarz offers test and measurement solutions for verifying beamforming antenna circuitry.
