7 Configuration
The RF shielded box is typically delivered with a customer-specific, pre-configured
antenna arrangement. It can be composed of the following available options:
●
Multiple Vivaldi antennas of various types can be mounted on the Half antenna ring
R&S TS-F24-AH1, the Full antenna ring R&S TS-F24-AR or on the Antenna holder
R&S TS-F24-AH2 inside the chamber. These rings and the holder provide high
flexibility for rotating and translating the Vivaldi antennas, which include:
– The Vivaldi antenna R&S TS-F24-V1
– The Vivaldi antenna R&S TS-F24-V2
– The Cross-polarized Vivaldi antenna R&S TS-F24-V3
●
The Narrowband antenna R&S TS-F24NB2, or multiple of those antennas, can be
mounted in the lower part of the chamber.
●
The Wideband antenna R&S TS-F24WA1 can be mounted in the top part of the
chamber.
●
The Magnetic coil R&S TS-F24HML1 (mounted without any other antennas)
●
The LF loop antenna R&S TS-F24HLF1
The wideband antenna, one or multiple narrowband antennas, one or multiple Vivaldi
antennas or an LF loop antenna on one or two antenna holders can be mounted at the
same time. However, either of them prevents the installation of an antenna ring. The
only exception from this exclusion rule is the combination of the half antenna ring with
LF loop or Vivaldi antennas on one or two antenna holders.
These options allow configuring the R&S TS7124M reproducibly for a comprehensive
range of application-specific DUT test scenarios.
The configuration examples given in this user manual, such as specific cable connec-
tions and antenna positions, are not more than representative of many possible config-
urations. Rohde & Schwarz does not recommend any specific configuration.
