Versatile 5G FR2 over-the-air antenna characterization at your benchtop

Presented by Prof. Fabien Ferrero, Université Côte d'Azur Günter Pfeifer, Rohde & Schwarz

Mobile devices that operate in the FR2 frequency range experience a high path loss, something that can be solved by using the beamforming antenna arrays. In this webinar, we will discuss the topic of antenna design and the measurement process for multi-beam 5G FR2 antennas. We will also focus on the specific ongoing designs developed in the frame of the energy-efficient mmWave for the EEMW4FIX project funded by the French National Research Agency (ANR). Together, we will also discuss and explain the beam switch concept that is based on a phased array and flat lens at 30 GHz.

We will also demonstrate the design optimization process by using the R&S®ATS800B CATR benchtop antenna test system and introduce the specific Python library to control the different parts of the antenna radiation system.

In this webinar, you will learn more about:

  • Measurement process for the 5G FR2 antenna systems
  • Beam steering antenna design principle
  • Directive antenna radiation pattern assessment
