Electromagnetic Anechoic Box /Shield Box Small/Medium Size ME8661A

Ideal for RFID / wireless LAN / ETC wireless system tests.
It is a simple electromagnetic anechoic box for stationary use. It has a double structure of a radio wave absorber and an aluminum plate and can measure frequencies from low frequencies to 18 GHz. An acrylic stand for placing the DUT is installed, and the structure is such that the optional receiving antenna can be easily attached.

Applications

1. Wireless system test

The following wireless system tests can be performed in free space close to the actual usage conditions of mobile phones, ETC on-board units, wireless LAN, wireless communication devices, etc. Tests of power transmission, transmission frequency, spurious, occupied bandwidth, power leakage during carrier off, modulation index, transmission eye aperture ratio, etc.

This wireless system test is performed by placing the DUT on an acrylic table and connecting the output of the receiving antenna mounted at the position opposite to it to a spectrum analyzer, microwave power meter, etc. Therefore, an optional receiving antenna is required when performing this test. Spiral antenna and horn antenna are available as receiving antennas. When installing an antenna with specifications other than these, it can be handled by specifying the frequency band used and the polarization method. The distance between the DUT and the receiving antenna can be 30 cm or more. The optional reference antenna is used when calibrating the RF coupling (loss from the front of the DTU to the receive antenna output SMA connector). Frequency characteristic data of antenna gain, and RF coupling are attached to this reference antenna. The reference antenna and the receiving antenna are the same, but the reference antenna has a fixed base so that it can be placed on an acrylic stand.

2 : Antenna test

By connecting the signal source to the connector for the reference antenna and connecting the measuring instrument to the connector for the receiving antenna, the characteristic data of the antenna can be obtained.

3 : As an electromagnetic anechoic box

It can be used as a mere electromagnetic anechoic box without attaching an antenna. It is most suitable for a simple preliminary experiment of EMC test or when you want to shield from the external electromagnetic field.
