GRENZARRAY TEST ELECTRONICS DISTRIBUTIONS

Abstract

Electromagnetic interface array test system with a chamber (66) enclosing a test volume and having walls, the system comprising: a plurality of plates forming a curved wall (68) of the chamber (66), each plate having at least one opening and each opening being large enough to allow the passage of a radio frequency module (RF module) and an antenna through the opening;for each opening an RF module, an antenna and a rigid plate (106) large enough to cover the opening, each rigid plate (106) being removable from one of the plurality of plates from an outside of the chamber (66), the RF module and the antenna being configured to be inserted through the opening so that the rigid plate (106) covers the opening, the antenna being mounted on an inside of the rigid plate (106) via a bracket (108) such that each antenna of each RF module is directed towards a common area of ​​the test volume; the RF module comprising RF electronics (80, 82) comprising at least one selected boost converter (90) and a buck converter (92), and the RF module being in communication communication with the antenna via a short RF cable (RF cable);and at least one feedthrough connector configured to transmit signals between the internal electronics (82) of the RF electronics (80, 82) located inside the chamber (66) and the external electronics (80) of the RF electronics (80, 82) located outside the chamber (66).
