The only testing method for mmWave antenna is Over-The-Air due to a large number of RF channels or an antenna system designed into a single package without RF connectors. The traditional CATR chamber testing method is to rotate the DUT and measure the parameters by horn antennas that are super slow and limit the test coverage.
The XBeam solution is the breakthrough innovative phased array antenna testing method that is ultra-fast and with a ultra-small footprint. Not only measuring the power amplitude but also the phase, the system is able to scan the antenna pattern in 2D and 3D in just seconds. It’s the most critical test item of phase array antennas that the traditional testing method cannot perform on a production line.
| Breakthrough Speed | Compact System | Best Cost & Time Ratio |
|---|---|---|
| 100x faster than any industrial testing method | Pure electric beam scan in ultra-small box without motor interference or limitations | Integrated HW/SW innovative design with the best TCO value |
What is XBeam?
XBeam is an Over-The-Air (OTA) testing solution without mechanical positioners. XBeam with pure electronic beam-to-beam measurement is 100 times faster than any traditional method.
OTA is the only way to test the mmWave AiP modules. However, traditional CATR with slow positioners and bulky chamber is inadequate in production line testing. TMYTEK creates XBeam to improve mmWave module testing efficiency and to meet your production goals at a reasonable cost.
Why XBeam?
| Automation Ready | Fast Testing Speed | Cost-Effective |
|---|---|---|
| The small footprint design makes XBeam easy to integrate with automation test equipment, like a handler | Unlike traditional CATR with mechanical positioners, XBeam, with cutting-edge Over-the-air patent technologies, is 100 times faster | With TMYTEK’s ultra-wideband up / down converter (UD Box), it makes reuse of sub-6 GHz analyzers possible to save the cost of instrumentation |
