Easiest Antenna Testing. Ever.

Three Fully Anechoic Antenna Chambers

Chamber Frequency Ranges: 100 MHz to 44 GHZ

Passive and Active OTA Testing Compatible

Our chambers are fully equipped to test TRP, TIS, and Passive antenna testing. The chambers can also be converted to test EMI/RFI issues such as FCC spurious emissions failures.

Range Testing

Accurate Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) measurements across various environments. This test has been used to determine the TIS of a GPS system or test for desense issues.

DUT Turntable

Equipped with high-precision dual axis AZ/ EL positioners for smooth, accurate antenna measurements. The positioner is capable of measuring as low as 1/16th of a degree of resolution.

Quad-Ridge Horn Antenna

Allows for a wide frequency range and dual linear polarization.

Field Theory Designed RHCP and LHCP Conical Reference Antennas

The 5-meter chamber utilizes circular polarized antennas to accurately measure systems like GPS and SATCOMM.

How Do Our Anechoic Chambers Work?

Our anechoic chambers are shielded spaces designed to block external electromagnetic interference while containing internal emissions. Each chamber is lined with radio wave absorbers on all six sides, minimizing reflections and ensuring accurate, reliable measurements. All testing is performed in-house, keeping your intellectual property secure.

What Sets Us Apart

Everything is Solvable

Integrated Design & Testing: At Field Theory, we eliminate delays by integrating design, fabrication, and testing processes in-house. Our team can quickly iterate on prototypes, significantly reducing your time to market.
Cost-Efficiency: We believe in transparency and value, which is why there are no separate fees for using our lab equipment. This approach not only streamlines the process but also helps lower your overall project costs.
Timely Results: We value our ability to quickly and effectively respond to new technologies and client schedules, ensuring that we provide relevant and timely solutions.
