IWR1443BOOST: mmwave OTA Radiated antenna measurements

Jason Jantzi

Part Number: IWR1443BOOST

Hello,

Would TI be able to provide a few recommendations and contacts for test labs that have high frequency mmwave OTA equipment and would be willing to offer OTA antenna testing of 77-81GHz FMCW Radar sensors? We are looking to get FOV in azimuth and elevation and 3D antenna patterns for our DUT and possibly also quantify it against our HF simulation models.

We have looked at purchasing the 77-80GHz test equipment but financially it would make more sense to contract our the design services. Could you please provide any contacts and recommendations of any design houses or labs that would provide this service?

Thanks,
Jason Jantzi

Hi Jason,

I've asked an expert to look into this and someone should have an answer for you in the next few days.

Cheers,

Akash

Hi Jason,

UL labs in USA and Intertek in USA has the capability for performing OTA antenna testing at 77-81GHz / 60GHz frequencies.

If you would like to purchase equipment for the testing purpose you could refer to:

R & S https://www.rohde-schwarz.com/in/product/ats1000-productstartpage_63493-394432.html

https://millibox.org/

https://mmwavetest.com/mmwave-millibox-product-information/ has configurable chambers are available with gimbals.

These are just few suggestions only, However there may be many other options you may want to explore.

Thanks and regards,

Hi Chethan,

I have attempted to contact UL labs and Intertek but they claim they are unable to do the test. Maybe I have contacted the wrong division or people. Would you be able to provide me contact information for these 2 labs? Offline is fine.

Thanks,
Jason
