Antenna Testing

Antenna Testing - StarLab Near Field Test System

Fast reliable on-site antenna testing service for IoT or M2M devices. 2D or 3D antenna patterns along with efficiency measurements. Our near-field  antenna test facility is ideal for either free space or next to human phantom antenna verification. Either passive measurements (where the active electronics are disconnected from the antenna), or OTA (over the air) pre-compliance.

Antenna Pattern Visualization

Antenna measurement data is available in several formats. Primarily we provide a test report with standard 2D azimuth, elevation cuts at each test frequency, a 3D image at the center of each band, and a radiated efficiency plot. Several examples are shown below.
