The New TESCOM TC5910DU RF Shield Box is the upgraded version of the popular TC5910D. The new DU version now provides excellent reliable RF Shielding up to 12GHz.  It still retains the basic features of the TC5910D RF Shield Box that the testing industry has grown to love but now with improved shielding to meet the higher frequency testing demands of wireless technology. This Faraday cage is designed for OTA testing as all the interior walls are lined with highly absorbent RF Absorber along with a layer of ferrite absorber to minimize reflections for performing Over-the-Air testing(OTA).  Add one of our grid fixtures and antenna couplers to make the TC5910DU RF Shield Box an ideal OTA test solution for your handheld DUT(Device-Under-Test).

 

How is Over-The-Air, OTA testing performed? To perform an OTA test, the device under test (DUT) is placed in a test environment inside a test chamber, such as the TC5910DU RF Shield Box. The test chamber isolates the Device Under Test(DUT) from any outside interference. The RF Absorber lined walls and antenna coupler reduces reflections within the chamber. The goal of OTA testing is to ensure that the device has good wireless performance in every situation. Many factors can affect the performance and reliability of the testing, such as reflections causing multipath conditions and interference from the surrounding environment, so this is where our RF Shield Box integrated with an antenna coupler and fixture can give you the repeatability and integrity in your testing.

Typical RF Shielding

TC-5910DU Manual RF Shield Box Typical RF Shielding

The shield effectiveness below is measured when the blank panel is mounted; other I/O interface panel results a different shielding effectiveness of the shield box.

  • 100 to 3 GHz > 70 dB
  • 3 to 6 GHz > 60 dB
  • 6 to 12 GHz > 60 dB

***Isolation example above is based on I/O configuration as specified above. Isolation may be higher or lower based on specific I/O configuration installed.
