The OTA testing of 5G devices undergoing mass production is facing unprecedented challenges. The number of antennas and frequency bands under test has increased extensively. The higher frequency bands used by 5G make OTA testing even more difficult. All of these challenges lead to a much longer test time, a more complicated procedure for NPI, and a higher cost. AeroGT Labs recently introduced PinProbe M6, an innovative solution that provides almost 6 times higher efficiency with a considerably lower cost. PinProbe M6 is able to test all the wireless functions of the 5G UE, including 5G FR1, LTE, WiFi 2.4G/4.9G/5.8G, Bluetooth, and GPS.PinProbe M6 is a 5G(FR1) UE Manufacturing OTA Test System with a small footprint. Key features include:
- Comprehensive band & standards coverage 600MHz~6GHz & 5G NR (FR1), LTE, WiFi
- Innovative technology: parallel multi-antenna OTA testing(patented ODC method)
- High efficiency: DUT loaded once, tests for multi-antenna and multi-mode can be done
- High confidence: test results correlate with TRP test
- High reliability: system-level self-test & online self-test
- Wide DUT compatibility: suitable for various multi-antenna UEs, cellphone, smartwatches, PDAs
- Customizable design for manufacturing: manual or pneumatic operation etc.
