5G devices are becoming more complex, with advanced antenna systems, wider frequency coverage, beamforming, MIMO, and higher data rates all becoming part of modern wireless products. As these technologies develop, testing only through conducted connections is not enough. Engineers also need to understand how a device performs when its radio signals travel through the air. This is where a 5G OTA chamber becomes an important part of the wireless testing environment. An over-the-air chamber creates a controlled RF space where devices can be tested without relying on a direct cable connection between the device and measurement equipment. This makes it possible to evaluate radiated performance under repeatable conditions while reducing the impact of external interference and unwanted reflections. But choosing an OTA chamber is not simply about finding an enclosure that fits inside a laboratory. The frequency range, RF isolation, absorber configuration, positioning system, automation, DUT s...

Wireless testing is becoming increasingly precise. As devices move into 5G, mmWave, advanced antenna architectures, beamforming, and eventually 6G applications, the physical position of the device and antenna can have a direct impact on measurement results. This is where an RF positioning system becomes an important part of the test environment. Rather than relying on engineers to manually rotate, tilt, or reposition a device, an automated positioning system can control movement with defined angles, repeatable positioning, and software-based automation. This makes it easier to perform consistent measurements across multiple test cycles. Modern RF positioning systems can support applications ranging from antenna characterization and radiation-pattern measurements to beamforming verification and wireless device testing. They can also be integrated into OTA chambers and broader automated test setups. Here are 9 reasons RF positioning systems have become important in modern RF and OTA...
