21 Introduction to the µ-lab µ-lab from 21
22 MVG Orbit/FR µ-lab µ-lab The µ-lab is a Millimeter Wave Spherical Measurement System with primary operation targeting small aperture devices in V, E, and W-Bands (50GHz to 110GHz). * Other frequency coverage is available upon request. 22
23 µ-lab: A novel solution A patent pending turn-key millimeter wave test system called µ-lab Complete measurement laboratory in a small portable foot-print Designed to support antenna test and measurements of the demanding WiGig products as well as many other millimeter wave technologies Precise measurements using spherical geometry Cost effective solution 5ft x 5ft x 5ft anechoic chamber Fits through standard double doors (USA) 23
24 µ-lab: Key Features Source and Receiver Designed to leverage advanced capabilities of Keysight Technologies PNA and PNA-X Vector Network Analyzers Device as source and X Series Keysight Spectrum Analyzers with Smart Mixers Elevation Gantry Arm over Azimuth Positioning System Gantry Arm rotates in Azimuth around the Device Under test (DUT) This realizes a 30 centimeter sphere around the DUT. Non-Rotating Center Mount Column provides virtually invisible support for DUTs like notebook computers or other connectorized devices and antennas while providing maximum amplitude and phase stability 64Bit workstation with Orbit/FR s 959 Spectrum data acquisition and analysis software MVG Orbit/FR s industry leading positioners and position control technology 24
