  • Patent number: 8330640
    Abstract: Embodiments include an anechoic chamber lined with absorber to absorb electromagnetic energy incident upon the absorber and reflector edge interfaces. The chamber comprises a reflector to reflect waves from a source to form a substantially plane wave field in a test zone within the chamber. In some embodiments, the outer periphery of the reflector extends to the interior walls, floor and ceiling of the chamber. The outer periphery of the reflector is embedded in the absorber in some embodiments.

  • Patent number: 6738008
    Abstract: A matching network hybrid electro-magnetic compatibility (EMC) absorber. A substrate of any number of materials serves as the frame on which partial coatings are placed. Design parameters governing the substrate and other parameters governing the coating control the electrical properties of the matching network hybrid EMC absorber. By performing partial and/or full coating, the physical shape and mechanical properties of the matching network hybrid EMC absorber may be de-coupled from the electrical properties. A designer modifies and controls the electrical performance of an electro-magnetic test system by special-tailoring a matching network hybrid EMC absorber. An electro-magnetic wave to ensure that a majority of the electro-magnetic wave is absorbed into a lossy, absorber material mounted on the walls of a test chamber in the frequency range from 20-500 MHz.

  • Patent number: 6657214
    Abstract: A test system having a shielded enclosure and common air interface for testing the transmit and receive functionality of wireless communication devices such as mobile phones. A test system according to the present invention provides improved fault coverage by permitting robust testing of the entire signal path of a wireless device, including the antenna structure. In one embodiment of the invention, an RF-shielded enclosure having a test chamber is provided. The structure of the shielded enclosure blocks ambient RF energy from entering the test chamber and interfering with testing operations. The shielded enclosure may be lined with an RF absorbing material to improve test repeatability. A novel test antenna structure is disposed in the test chamber for wirelessly communicating test signals to a device under test.

  • Patent number: 6489931
    Abstract: A diagonal dual-polarized broadband horn antenna. The unique use of diagonal line ridges placed in the corners of the aperture of the diagonal dual-polarized broadband horn antenna. The sides of the diagonal dual-polarized broadband horn antenna are made of any number of materials including dielectric material or metallic material. The operating frequency range of one embodiment of the present invention is approximately 100 MHz to 18 GHz in one embodiment. The present invention is scaleable to allow operation at even higher and lower frequencies. This ability of the present invention to adapt to a number of frequency ranges allows application for a wide variety of electromagnetic testing applications. The use of the diagonal line ridges allows for a broadband horn antenna that is significantly more manageable that conventional broadband horn antennas, while offering operation at common frequency ranges.
