CBox OTA1800 MINI Far-Field OTA Test System
CBox OTA1800 OTA test system is a mini far-field OTA test system. The design of the system conforms to the CTIA test plan (version 3.5.2) specification. The sampling distance is 1.5m, and the standard large circle cutting method is adopted.CBox OTA1800 has rich test functions, supports passive test of antenna in 690mhz-6ghz ultra wide band, and can accurately measure passive parameters such as pattern (amplitude and phase), gain, efficiency, pattern bandwidth, cross polarization ratio, axial ratio, pattern pointing accuracy, phase center, etc. Support the active test of the whole system, including 2 / 3 / 4G, WiFi, Bluetooth and GNSS. The system adopts broadband single probe sampling, which is recognized as the most accurate measurement method.
1.1.1 Design features
CBox OTA1800 is equipped with shielding shell, with overall dimension of 1400 * 1400 * 2200mm. The bottom is wheel design, movable and lockable.
The shell is spliced and can be assembled on site, which can solve the handling difficulties caused by small size doors and elevators.
The shell is made of steel and aluminum, the door frame is specially designed, and the door opening size is 500mm * 1000mm.
The imported absorbing materials are laid on six sides, and special absorbing materials are used around the door to avoid the damage of absorbing cotton caused by touching.
