mmwave test hardware 5g 6g test equipment manufacturers

Introduction : The testing landscape for 5G mmWave (FR2) and early 6G sub-THz networks requires highly specialized equipments. This includes everything from over the air (OTA) test chambers and vector network analyzer (VNA) extenders to phased array prototyping hardware. Following are top manufacturers of 5G/6G mmWave test hardware, along with their key part numbers and features

Rohde & Schwarz

  • ATS1800C : Compact Antenna Test Range - CATR
  • CATR-FE60B : Broadband CATR Feed covering 3:1 Bandwidth (22 to 64 GHz)
  • R&S PWC200 : Plane Wave Synthesis System, Uses digital arrays of controlled sources to synthesize ideal plane waves electronically

Eravant (Formerly Sage Millimeter)

  • SAV-1431141129-1F-S1 : Dual ridged broadband horn antenna covering 14 to 110 GHz with 11 dBi gain
  • ACCESS Series VNA Extenders : A line of Tx/Rx transceiver modules that extend standard VNAs up to 330 GHz.

Anritsu

  • MT8000A : Radio Communication Test platform that supports 5G NR up to mmWave bands (FR1 and FR2).

Virginia Diodes, Inc.

  • Mini VNAX Modules (WR28 through WR1.0) : These VNA extenders push high-performance vector network analyzers all the way from 26 GHz up to an incredible 1.1 THz (1,100 GHz).

TMYTEK (TMY Technology, Inc.)

  • BBox™ 8x8 Duo : : A dual polarized 28 GHz (26 to 29 GHz) phased array antenna system. It integrates 64 antenna elements delivering up to 50 dBm EIRP.

Teledyne Relays (Teledyne ADE)

  • CCR/CCT-39V : Designed for upper V-Band test and development, this Single Pole Multi Throw (SPnT) switch provides automated routing up to 67 GHz.

Copper Mountain Technologies (CMT)

  • A2202-Fx (22 GHz VNA) / C4209 (9 GHz VNA) : Metrology grade, portable VNAs. While their native frequencies are lower, CMT specifically designs these to pair seamlessly with third party frequency extenders (like Eravant or VDI) to create complete, highly affordable frequency extension systems up to 330 GHz.
