RF wireless test chamber is for consumer and automotive design
Claimed to be three times smaller than alternative products, currently available, the WSC-6 is an RF wireless test chamber developed by Alfamation.
It provides a typical shielding effectiveness of over 90dB, yet measures 230 x 280 x 130mm. The compact size and the fact that WSC-6 is stackable, creates new space on the factory floor, say Alfamation. Depending on the product size and application, the chamber can typically host more than one device under test (DUT).
WSC-6 can be used to test any wireless device transmitting in the 500MHz to 6GHz range, including any wireless device for consumer and automotive applications, including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, LTE, 5G smartphone, and V2X (vehicle-to-everything) modules.
WSC-6 isolates the DUT from the external environment to enable accurate testing in high-volume production facilities, effectively shielded from any outside interference. The test chamber can internally reproduce the far field condition.
The test chamber is supplied in manual, semi-automatic and fully-automatic configurations. In manual mode the operator opens and closes the door as required, in semi-automatic mode, the chamber doors are locked and unlocked automatically, while fully-automatic means that the WSC-6 can be integrated into an automated production line with robotic loading and unloading of DUTs.
The chamber is available both as a standard product as well as in customised configurations for specific customer needs, for example various sizes and shapes. Alfamation can also integrate and supply the test chamber as part of a customised manufacturing test cell.
WSC-6 is very heavy-duty, constructed on a solid cast aluminium base, enabling pneumatically-assisted loading and unloading. It includes status LEDs and provides all the necessary space for testing-related electronics.
Alfamation was founded in 1991 and is headquartered on the outskirts of Milan, Italy. The company develops and manufactures test and measurement products and services for the global automotive, consumer electronics, telecommunications, and medical industries. The privately-owned company develops and markets high-performance functional testers, modules for testing both analogue and digital video signal processing, and a software framework environment for customers worldwide.
