Ensure optimal beam steering and beam directivity
With specialized Rohde & Schwarz testing solutions
Beamforming antennas are very different from traditional antennas as they typically use phased arrays with a high number of individual antenna elements. All these elements need to work perfectly together to form an RF beam with the desired characteristics. Over-the-air (OTA) testing helps engineers verify the correct beam pattern and supports the process of minimizing sidelobes.
Faulty elements that appear, due to the electronic supply of the signal or a bad connection, reduce the overall effectiveness of the antenna array. A quick and easy verification of individual elements, while examining the entire running array, is a unique approach to ensure the best overall performance. Rohde & Schwarz offers dedicated solutions that meet all testing needs quickly and reliably.
