World Leader in<br />
Over-The-Air Performance<br />
Testing of <strong>Wireless</strong><br />
Subscriber Devices<br />
<strong>ETS</strong>-<strong>Lindgren</strong> has been designing and building<br />
solutions for wireless over-the-air (OTA) testing for<br />
more than a decade.<br />
We are a principal, contributing member of CTIA<br />
ERP and helped develop the industry’s first OTA<br />
measurement plan. We also developed the AMS-8500<br />
antenna measurement system as a practical method<br />
to perform the required measurements. Using an<br />
AMS-8500 in our own lab, we became the first CTIA<br />
Authorized Test Lab (CATL) for mobile station OTA<br />
performance testing in 2002.<br />
Since then, <strong>ETS</strong>-<strong>Lindgren</strong> has developed significant<br />
intellectual property in <strong>Wireless</strong> OTA measurement<br />
technology, and have installed a majority of the<br />
systems in use today for wireless OTA testing.<br />

AMS-8900<br />
Frequency: 700 MHz to 6 GHz<br />
AMS-8900 Antenna Measurement Systems are high speed, multi-antenna distributed axis<br />
test systems. These models are ideally suited for automated measurement of antenna performance<br />
of wireless devices, and devices with embedded wireless functions.<br />
System Information<br />
The AMS-8900 Multi-Antenna Distributed<br />
Axis Test Systems are fully configured to<br />
perform both research and development and<br />
type approval measurements.<br />
The system can also be used to perform<br />
antenna measurements in both near and farfield<br />
test distances for more generic antenna<br />
properties.<br />
The AMS-8900 Antenna Pattern Measurement<br />
System includes a custom Multi-Antenna<br />
Array Ring that houses a system of dualpolarized<br />
antennas. These antennas support<br />
testing between 700 MHz and 6 GHz.<br />
An integrated laser alignment system assists<br />
with DUT positioning.<br />
An optional goniometer is available for 7.5 o<br />
stepped measurement.<br />
A switch control box integrated on the ring<br />
provides fast switching between antennas<br />
for high speed testing. Its centralized system<br />
configuration supports easy maintenance<br />
and superior reliability.<br />

System Information<br />
The AMS-8800 Theta Arm Distributed<br />
Axis Antenna Pattern Measurement Test<br />
System consists of an azimuth rotator for<br />
rotating the DUT and a separate theta arm<br />
positioner for elevating the measurement<br />
antenna around the DUT.<br />
The theta rotational arm scanning system<br />
provides a quick, convenient and accurate<br />
test method for wireless devices. It is a good<br />
choice for larger, heavier DUTs, especially<br />
those which may be gravity dependent. A<br />
table-top mount is included for testing<br />
portable computing devices, desktop<br />
computing devices, small appliances, and<br />
customer premise equipment.<br />
The dual polarized quad-ridged antenna<br />
on the theta arm provides broadband<br />
measurement in both polarizations.<br />
Standard frequency range is 700 MHz to<br />
10 GHz with other ranges available.<br />
This series can be upgraded to conduct<br />
over-the-air testing per CTIA, Wi-Fi, and<br />
WiMAX RPT specifications.<br />

AMS-8700 MIMO OTA Test Systems allows repeatable measurement of radiated performance<br />
of wireless devices in a simulated multi-path environment.<br />
System Information<br />
The AMS-8700 MIMO OTA Test Systems<br />
allows repeatable measurement of radiated<br />
performance of wireless devices in a simulated<br />
multi-path environment. The system acts as an<br />
RF environment simulator that can generate<br />
spatial field structures similar to those seen in<br />
a wide range of real-world scenarios.<br />
Standard conducted channel models can be<br />
adapted to equivalent radiated spatial channel<br />
models for evaluation of the entire device<br />
signal chain, including antennas, device<br />
platform, and near field phantom (head, hands,<br />
etc.) impact on device performance.<br />
The simulated environment is suitable for<br />
evaluation of downlink MIMO performance<br />
for emerging wireless technologies such as<br />
LTE, WiMAX, and 802.11n Wi-Fi as well<br />
as receive diversity performance of existing<br />
wireless technologies.<br />
The system consists of a dual polarized<br />
antenna array in an absorber lined fullyanechoic<br />
chamber connected to technology<br />
specific communication test equipment<br />
through a spatial channel emulator.<br />

to the recently published Cellular and<br />
Telecommunications and Internet Association<br />
(CTIA) test methods for portable transceivers.<br />
This system can also be used to perform<br />
antenna measurements in near and far-field test<br />
distances for more generic antenna properties.<br />
This series of anechoic chambers is designed<br />
to have better than –25 dB in Quiet Zone (QZ)<br />
reflectivity, with a .06 m Quiet Zone size.<br />
Additionally, <strong>ETS</strong>-<strong>Lindgren</strong> can also produce<br />
customized chambers, designed to fit your<br />

System Information<br />
The AMS-8050 Antenna Measurement System<br />
is freestanding and built on a moveable cart<br />
configuration; it fits into parent buildings<br />
without special installation or construction.<br />
This OTA test system may be used for rapid<br />
prototyping, design validation, pre-certification<br />
testing, performance measurement, and<br />
production sampling.<br />
If you’re using an external test house for<br />
certification testing, our system can help<br />
you go fully prepared. OTA performance<br />
measurements made in the AMS-8050 have<br />
shown good correlation to measurements<br />
made in larger, fully compliant chambers.<br />
This unit is an ideal solution when space is a<br />
limitation. It can be used as a self-contained<br />
test lab for making fast, OTA performance<br />
measurements of small wireless devices and<br />
mobile handsets.<br />
The AMS-8050 can be easily installed into<br />
new or existing construction. Additionally, the<br />
moveable cart assembly allows for the system<br />
to be easily relocated within a testing facility.<br />
