CEDAR PARK, TX – October 6, 2022 – When Eurofins' Electrical and Electronics (E&E) business lines, part of the global network of independent Eurofins companies, were ready to expand their wireless test capabilities to meet thriving customer demand in Taiwan, they commissioned two AMS-8500 Antenna Measurement Systems from their trusted partner ETS-Lindgren. Model AMS-8500 is a turnkey solution for making compliant over-the-air (OTA) performance measurements. This system is ideally suited for automated measurement of antenna performance of wireless devices and devices with embedded wireless functions. Traditional passive antenna measurements may also be performed in order to obtain more generic antenna properties. Model AMS-8500 is fully configured to provide both R&D and type-approval measurements for transmit power and receiver performance of wireless devices in accordance with the CTIA OTA test plan.

Customers of Eurofins E&E Taiwan appreciate the expanded test capabilities the two AMS-8500 chambers offer, including support of 5GNR testing of a wide range of portable wireless devices. Test services for 5G are available for any form factor up to 30 cm in size. As an added convenience, Eurofins E&E Taiwan offers the AMS-8500 chambers to customers for use in their R&D efforts involving design validation, performance measurements, and production sample testing. With the addition of the AMS-8500 chambers, Eurofins E&E Taiwan is perfectly positioned to address the technological innovation inherent in Taiwan, home to many of the world's leading companies in the wireless industry.

Model AMS-8500 is designed as a general platform for testing various wireless devices. It supports far-field measurements at a separation distance of approximately 16 ft (4.9 m). The measurement antenna allows testing from 600 MHz to 10 GHz. Extension to higher frequencies is also achievable via optional antennas. The multi-axis positioning system (MAPS) rotates the device under test (DUT) around two orthogonal axes for full spherical coverage. ETS-Lindgren's EMQuest™ EMQ-100 Antenna Measurement Software supports data acquisition in either the great circle-cut or conical-cut test sequence to perform full spherical antenna measurements. In addition, ETS-Lindgren's Wireless Technology Test Packages support the unique requirements of the diverse customer base of Eurofins E&E Taiwan.
Model AMS-8500 Chamber A is configured to support Cellular, LTE-SISO, LTE-A Carrier Aggregation (2DL/1UL, 3DL/1UL, 4DL/1UL), and Sub 6 GHz 5GNR measurements. Model AMS-8500 Chamber B is configured to support Cellular, LTE-SISO, LTE-A Carrier Aggregation (2DL/1UL, 3DL/1UL, 4DL/1UL), Wireless IoT, and Sub 6 GHz 5GNR measurements. With these extensive wireless device test capabilities, Eurofins E&E Taiwan can offer a wide range of 5GNR wireless test services to its customers.
