MilliBox with its Partners Shows a Complete Affordable sub-THz 6G OTA Measurement Setup at IMS 2023 in San Diego
MilliBox the leader in compact benchtop mmWave anechoic chambers and antenna positioners cooperates with other industry leaders to realize an innovative complete solution for over-the-air measurements in sub-THz frequency range call D-Band, which is often envisioned for 6G technology and radar sensor applications. The partners in this unique demonstration are Copper Mountain Technologies who contributed its 20GHz USB VNA C4220, Eravant who contributed its D-Band frequency extenders and WR-06 standard gain antennas, Maury Microwave who provided its StabilityPlus RF cable assemblies and MilliBox who contributed its MBX02 anechoic chamber and GIM04-230E 3D positioner. This breakthrough demonstration features a live over-the-air capture of a 3D antenna radiation pattern from 110 GHz to 170GHz and renders it in real-time at 120GHz. “As research and innovation investigates the potential of always higher frequency bands, MilliBox, as pioneers in the industry, along with our partners, demonstrate that we have compelling solutions that are practical and affordable to push the frontier further,” says Jeanmarc Laurent Vice President of MilliBox. “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.” This demonstration will be live at MilliBox Booth 1914 and at Eravant Booth 1418 during the IMS exhibition from June 13th to June 16th.
