Bluetest and Rohde & Schwarz extend their long-established collaboration and have integrated the Wi-Fi 7 test functionality of the R&S CMX500 one-box signaling tester into the Bluetest Flow control software. Now, developers and manufacturers of next-generation WLAN technology can use the Bluetest reverberation test systems (RTS) to perform MIMO stress testing of IEEE 802.11be stations as well as access points under realistic conditions.

Gothenburg, Sweden, October 22, 2024
Anritsu and Bluetest have combined their recent product upgrades to create an Over-the-Air (OTA) measurement solution in a MIMO environment for verifying RF performance in the tri-frequency bands of the latest WLAN standard (IEEE 802.11be). This collaboration enables transmit power (Total Radiated Power, TRP) and receiver sensitivity (Total Isotropic Sensitivity, TIS) measurements in a 2x2 MIMO environment on devices supporting IEEE 802.11be.

Anritsu and Bluetest combine their recent product upgrades to create an Over-the-Air (OTA) measurement¹ solution for verifying RF performance in tri-frequency bands of the latest WLAN standard (IEEE 802.11be). This collaboration provides customers with a WLAN test solution capable of transmit power (TRP) and receive sensitivity (TIS) measurements on IEEE 802.11be supported devices. Measuring the OTA performance in life-like, but repeatable conditions, enables manufacturers of high-speed data transmission devices, including high-end smartphones, AR/VR devices and cloud gaming consoles, to optimize the radio performance and end-user satisfaction.

Gothenburg, Sweden, May 25th, 2023
The popularity of WLAN connectivity continues to increase, with integration into more and more domestic and industry products. The latest WLAN standards (802.11ax, Wi-Fi 6/6e) bring improved robustness, as well as increased capacity and transmission speed.

China Academy for Information and Communications Technology (CAICT) enhance their testing capacity, and international certificate scope, by installing the Bluetest RTS85HP base station OTA reverberation chamber. The chamber is in full operation and CAICT has already implemented the testing of integrated antenna base station (type 1-O) and passed the OTA RF certification in Brazil.

Bluetest is pleased to announce its enhanced partnership with Anritsu Corporation, offering a new unified test solution for Over-The-Air (OTA) measurement of 5G mobile terminals. Anritsu and Bluetest have long been working closely for LTE/5G FR1 (Sub-6 GHz band) and FR2 (mmWave) CATR OTA measurements with Bluetest's RTS65 OTA Reverberation Test System, but this enhanced partnership provides further advantages by supporting the new MT8000A Single Instrument NSA solution with Anritsu's MT8000A RF measurement test platform for 5G mobile terminals to implement new LTE & 5G (FR1, FR2) OTA measurements. Generally, a separate call box MT8821C was required for LTE OTA measurements, but this unified solution facilitates LTE, 5G FR1 and 5G FR2 measurements using just one OTA chamber and one single instrument, Anritsu MT8000A, resulting in lower costs for LTE/5G terminal developers as well as for operator specific Carrier Acceptance Tests (CAT) in an LTE/5G OTA test environment. In addition, the unified smaller system also saves valuable laboratory space.

Gothenburg, Sweden, April 4th, 2022
The Bluetest base station OTA measurement chamber, RTS85HP, is now available in a taller version, to accommodate longer antennas. The RTS85HP Tall version adds 0.6 m on the height, compared with the standard version, thereby allowing for antennas up to 2 m long. Chamber foot print, as well as the frequency range (450 MHz – 67 GHz) are maintained. Overall dimensions of the RTS85HP Tall version are (W x D x H): 3.52 m x 2.69 m x 2.9 m

Anritsu and Bluetest continue to support the evolution of WLAN by extending their combined OTA test offering to include the latest 802.11ax WLAN standard.

Bluetest is happy to announce that the paper "A Dual-Fed PIFA Antenna Element with Non-Symmetric Impedance Matrix for High-Efficiency Doherty Transmitters: Integrated Design and OTA-characterization" was accepted for publication in the prestigious journal IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation. The work in the paper was mainly done by the two main authors, Oleg Iupikov and William Hallberg, both with Chalmers University of Technology. Bluetest contributed with OTA characterization of the novel devices in our RTS65 reverberation test systems.
