The RF Test Position solution is an off-the-shelf product launched and released in late 2022 and features one of many solutions that can be derived from the LAMTA orchestration platform. Popularity of the solution increased after the COVID-19 pandemic forced lab managers to maintain business continuity without having staff on site.
Introducing Remote RF Testing
An RF test position is a common test platform to perform devices under test (DUTs) in one or many RF shielded environments. RF signals are fed into shielded boxes through a set of variable attenuators.
In regular RF testing position setups, the tester is physically on site to operate the attenuators and the DUT.
The LAMTA Remote RF test position is an all-in-one solution that enables testers to operate the test platform from a remote location. It can help testers remotely operate, monitor and capture DUT logs and uses software control to help operate variable attenuators and enable significant benefits to help test complex RF scenarios. Acentury offers two different Remote Test solutions.
Enabling Complex RF Test Scenarios such as MIMO and Carrier Aggregation
Using an RF switch matrix increases the test capabilities compared to an attenuation array. In addition to controlling attenuation for individual signal paths, it can also mix RF signals to produce new combinations, which can help users replicate roaming and handover testing under RF scenarios such as MIMO and Carrier Aggregation. These are difficult or even impossible to do using simple attenuators.
Reducing Cost and Complexity Using a Software-Controlled System
The LAMTA RF Test Position solution offers several cost and complexity benefits:
