Copper Mountain, Eravant, Maury Microwave, and MilliBox Team Up to Showcase Complete DBand OTA Measurement System at IMS 2023

Eravant, MilliBox, Maury Microwave, and Copper Mountain Technologies (CMT), have joined forces to showcase the most complete and affordable system for DBand over-the-air (OTA) 3D antenna pattern measurement on the market today. Each company will contribute some of its leading products to the demonstration. The presentation features a benchtop millimeter wave anechoic chamber with a 3D antenna positioner from MilliBox and a CMT 2-port 20 GHz VNA. Eravant’s compact Transmitter and Receiver modules extend the frequency of the VNA to 110 – 170 GHz with low profile flexible cable assemblies from Maury Microwave. This demonstration displays a live 3D radiation pattern capture of Eravant’s WR-06 20 dBi horn antenna.   

“This promises to be a unique demonstration that shows the 3D radiation pattern measured in DBand over-the-air in a full set up,” says Jeanmarc Laurent, Vice President at MilliBox. “It really helps engineers understand what a complete and affordable sub-THz solution looks like from our companies.”   

“It’s so exciting to see companies align their solutions around the emergence of sub-THz development,” said Wendy Shu, CEO of Eravant. “We know that creativity and collaboration will quickly bring affordable options to the marketplace as engineers pursue projects at increasingly higher frequencies.”   

The International Microwave Symposium will take place from June 13th - 15th at the San Diego Convention Center in San Diego, California. Attendees will have the opportunity to witness this groundbreaking demonstration at Eravant's booth #1418 and MilliBox's booth #1914 during the exhibition.
