Portable wireless shielded chambers
As wireless devices become increasingly ubiquitous, with Wi-Fi or cellular connectivity in everything from smartwatches to home thermostats to security cameras, so there is an increasing requirement to test these devices.
Antennas embedded within small devices such as phones and watches need to testing to verify the effectiveness of the embedded antenna, while Wi-Fi devices utilising the latest technologies such as Wi-Fi 6 must be tested to ensure their designs deliver the expected speeds and coverage.
Typically these tests have been performed in isolated rooms. Using isolated rooms present a logistical challenge, however. They are expensive, and are restricted in availability due to the high costs associated with them and so can cause delays while different teams prioritise their use of the room.
Introducing the octoScope portable chamber
The octoBOX® range of isolation chambers enable an expedited wireless testing pipeline as a more cost-effective, smaller solution that can be deployed at scale when compared to deploying additional isolation rooms.
Being able to house multiple isolation chambers within the lab environment allows a schedule of testing to be carried out much faster than relying on the availability of a single isolated environment.
Available in 3 different sizes from 18 inches to 38 inches the octoScope boxes deliver outstanding isolation of >80 dB even with cables connected through filters.
The complete isolation from outside interference offered by the octoBox® delivers a controlled RF environment that ensures highly repeatable testing to be performed.
When using a traditional room-sized chamber, all the required equipment to perform the test is located within the room, so any cabling between test devices can be made directly.
However, when using the octoBox® a range of filters are available to allow connection of external cabling without compromising the RF isolation.
Available filters include Ethernet, USB, HDMI and DC power.
Controllable RF environment for repeatable tests
RF isolation
The complete isolation provided by the octoBox® is essential for repeatable test results and enables use of the octoBox® in conformance testing environments.
Filters and internal mounts
High speed data filters allow the connection of external cabling to the device under test while maintaining isolation within the chamber. Shelves and turntables provide mounting options for the DUT and enable rate vs orientation measurements to be carried out.
High gain antenna array
MIMO antenna arrays are specifically designed to be used within the octoBox . Custom plastic mounts ensure minimal reflections.
