News - Service/Maintenance TestRF OTA validation of Antenna-in-Package (AiP) Devices14 October 2019 – National Instruments (NI) announced the launch of a hardware-accelerated 5G mmWave OTA Validation Test reference architecture for thorough characterization and validation of 5G mmWave beamforming AiP devices. NI’s mmWave OTA Validation Test reference architecture achieves fast speeds for OTA spatial sweeps in the 5G mmWave bands from 24 to 44 GHz, helping users significantly reduce OTA RF validation test times for AiP devices, compared to traditional point-by-point, software-controlled test systems. This new reference architecture gives characterization and validation engineers working on the latest 5G AiP devices the advantage of addressing their devices’ beamforming performance with wider and more complex 5G NR signals while shortening development schedules. NI’s fast OTA test approach helps engineers use denser spatial grids and obtain finer 3D spatial resolution while keeping test times low. Furthermore, with NI’s mmWave OTA Validation Test Software, validation engineers can quickly configure these extensive spatial sweeps to characterize their device’s antenna patterns as they produce, visualize, store or distribute detailed parametric results. “In the rapidly evolving 5G mmWave semiconductor industry, test systems need to be ready for a new class of 5G beamforming devices,” said Alastair Upton, chief strategy officer at Anokiwave. “Engineers will need fast, accurate and fairly-priced tools to measure and ensure device beamforming performance so that the next generation of mmWave semiconductors can reach its global potential.” NI’s mmWave OTA Validation Test reference architecture includes:
NI’s release of the mmWave OTA Validation Test reference architecture is part of NI’s continued endeavor to expand test coverage of 5G mmWave devices while helping customers lower their cost of test and shorten their time to market. This solution complements NI’s modular instrumentation portfolio and measurement software for characterization and validation of the latest 5G RFIC devices, from sub-6 GHz to mmWave. www.ni.com/ Related Articles: |
