Antennas and Antenna Couplers
COUPLE. TEST. REPEAT.
Couple to wireless devices using the dbCoupler and meet the requirements for efficient broadband test. dbCouplers are omni-directional wideband antennas, operating in the frequency range of 300MHz-8GHz. This is a key tool in characterizing various antennas within wireless devices.
Test with the dbCoupler for superior coupling performance to all wireless devices. The result is very low loss in coupling path while avoiding use of RF cables and connectors. The dbCouplers come in multiple configurations to test SISO and MIMO devices.
Repeat measurements with tenth of a dB coupling accuracy. The dbCoupler’s wideband characteristics encompass all frequency bands for wireless device testing. A combination of the dbCoupler and a Testforce DUT positioner eliminates error and maximizes efficiency.
Common Configuration
Correctly positioning a device is essential for accurate, reliable, and repeatable testing using an antenna coupler. All dbCouplers have a low profile, which allow the DUT to be maneuvered in 3 axis, achieving the highest performance. Increased repeatability can be achieved using a fixture to ensure the DUT is in the same spot each and every time. This makes the dbSafe or dbGuard RF enclosure the perfect complement to the dbCoupler.
The Antenna Coupler comes in many variations for every need. Below you can find an arrangement of Antenna Couplers you can choose from.
