Rohde & Schwarz test and measurement solutions for over-the-air (OTA) characterization of antennas
Antennas are designed to efficiently transmit or receive RF waves. To optimize their design, it is crucial to understand and test important characteristics such as antenna diagrams, directivity and gain. All testing is focused on over-the-air methods to understand the antenna's created RF field in the air. Topics of interest range from antenna diagrams and gain to performance verification of transmitted signals. Rohde & Schwarz offers a wide range of OTA chambers, from large, walk-in solutions to compact benchtop setups. An accurate near-field to far-field transformation algorithm allows the use of compact test environments to efficiently specify the antenna characteristics.
