SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR VOLUMETRIC SCANNING OF RADIO FREQUENCY SIGNALS

Abstract: a system for scanning radio frequency signals to and/or from a fixed device under test (dut) within a volume of space around the dut is disclosed. the system includes a gantry with a carrier robotically movable along a beam in a first direction, and a robotic arm mounted to the carrier and extending from the beam. the gantry moves the robotic arm along the beam in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction. an rf probe is mounted to a free end of the robotic arm and is configured to communicate with the antenna under test (aut) of the dut. a control system coordinates movements of the gantry and robotic arm to move the rf probe in a scanning pattern about the dut.
