F9650A Compact Antenna Test Range (CATR) Chamber

Introduction

The Keysight F9650A Compact Antenna Test Range (CATR) chamber fulfills the 5G FR2 RF and RRM one Angle of Arrival (AoA) test demands for design and verification as per 3GPP, and device acceptance as per certification bodies like GCF, PTCRB, and CTIA. It also provides a measurement environment for characterizing wireless and antenna system performance of 5G devices, at millimeter-wave (mmWave) frequencies.

Overview

The Keysight F9650A Over-The-Air (OTA) Compact Antenna Test Range (CATR) chamber provides a measurement environment for characterizing wireless and antenna system performance of devices at millimeter-wave (mmWave) frequencies. Use the chamber with Keysight test and measurement equipment in a range of applications including device R&D and 3GPP / CTIA conformance tests.
