Our Lab

On-Site Advanced RF Lab With In-House, Professional, Rapid Prototyping Capabilities

 

Field Theory has an on-site advanced RF lab that helps to accelerate the design and development of your product for speed to market. From initial engineering, to design implementation, to final board spins – Field Theory uses the appropriate prototyping approach to receive feedback quickly. Our engineers can design and fabricate simultaneously to test within the same day.

  • On-site Advanced RF Lab

    • We equip our engineers with the most modern, highest quality tools.

    • Two on-site anechoic antenna chambers used exclusively by Field Theory so projects are never waiting to be tested.

    • All testing performed in-house to keep your IP secure. We are not a test house that sometimes does antenna design having several clients coming and going every day, which could compromise your project’s information.

    • 5G Compatible

    • Passive Mode Antenna Testing

    • Active WIFI Antenna Testing

    • Active LTE

    • Standard Testing: TRP and TIS using our CMW500 or CW mode, peak gain/ EiRP, 2D polar plots, Through-put testing, Rate vs Range testing, Return loss, Isolation, Passive efficiency / average gain, 3D plots, Heat map generation and S-Parameters

    • Chamber range up to 40GHz

    • Ability to convert the chamber for pre-compliance EMC testing with a radiated range of 200MHz to 26.5GHz

    • In-house Altium software for PCB layout design & troubleshooting

  • Supercomputer with CST Antenna Simulation

    • High performance 3D electromagnetic field solver aids us in performing multiple iterations of real-world testing without the need for multiple fabrication runs.

    • Field Theory engineers can predict antenna behavior within the component design, antenna placement, antenna arrays, and many more scenarios with high accuracy.

  • DeSense Chamber used to troubleshoot any receiver or EMI noise issues.

  • EMC / EMI: Engineering improvements; Pre-qualification testing and root cause analysis to isolate noise source and eliminate it. So, you can ship it!

In-House Professional Rapid Prototyping Capabilities

  • LPKF ProtoMat S 104 Advanced PCB Milling Machine

    • This highly accurate machine gives us the capability to create PCB and Antenna prototypes in as little as 30 minutes with the highest available speed (100,000 rpm)

  • 3D Printers

    • Our two Stratasys 3D printers offer high-strength parts with production-grade ABS. This is critical for creating functional prototypes with dimensional accuracy.

      • Layer resolution up to 400 microns

    • Our 2nd 3D printer is used for rapid printing to make quick revisions to experiment with multiple approaches

      • Layer resolution of 100 microns

Part of the beauty of Field Theory is that there are no separate fees for use of our equipment, it is included in the determined fees that you will know upon signing a contract with Field Theory. This will in turn help lower your overall project cost.

We pride ourselves on keeping to your timeline. Testing results are provided to meet your schedule. If results are available ahead of time, they will be given to you!
