Conducted antenna testing applications

Antenna characterization from the RF port

Test and measurement solutions from Rohde & Schwarz are ideal for conducted antenna verification

An important step in verifying antenna performance is ensuring that the signal is optimally converted from the conducted signal to the air, and vice versa. Conducted testing is performed on the antenna to optimize efficiency. Matching and passive intermodulation (PIM) play an important role here, and Rohde & Schwarz offers a wide range of leading-edge solutions for conducted antenna verification in the lab and the field during and after the installation of the equipment.

Highlighted applications

Antenna matching in IoT and low-power devices

Antennas have become an integral part of consumer electronics, even in small portable devices that rely on a limited energy source. Consequently, antennas need to be both physically small and power efficient.
