RF Tunnel Shielded Chamber

RF Tunnel Shielded Chamber for Reliable OTA Testing

The RF Tunnel Shielded Chamber from Orbis Systems is a fully shielded, configurable enclosure designed for reliable over-the-air (OTA) testing with repeatable measurements free from external interference.

Built on Orbis’ proven OTA and RF shielding platforms, the tunnel chamber integrates Precision antenna positioning and DUT interfaces, enabling efficient and automated validation of wireless products.

The solution supports both Sub-6 GHz (FR1) and mmWave (FR2) frequency ranges, making it suitable for comprehensive 5G device and base station testing.

Technical Skills

Comprehensive RF shielding: Prevents outside electromagnetic interference from entering the test volume and minimizes internal leakage, ensuring accurate and repeatable OTA measurements.

  • Integrated positioning and automation: Works with Orbis antenna positioners and DUT controllers (standard REST API support) to automate antenna, beamforming, MIMO, and throughput testing.
  • Modular form factors: Available as tunnel-style shielded rooms, container-based OTA chambers, or compact shielded boxes, scalable to lab, production, or field deployment needs.
  • Frequency coverage and extensibility: Supports both Sub-6 GHz (FR1) and mmWave (FR2) testing, with customizable options for absorbers, connectors, and feed systems, future-ready for evolving wireless standards.

Think of it as a dedicated lane for interference-free testing. An RF tunnel shielded chamber is a fully enclosed, configurable test environment that blocks all external electromagnetic interference  giving you clean, repeatable OTA measurements every single time. No noise, no variables, just reliable data.

Quite a lot. From beamforming performance and radiation pattern measurements to EIRP, TIS, MIMO validation, and throughput testing  of rf chamber in a tunnel configuration covers the full spectrum of 5G device and base station validation across both Sub-6 GHz and mmWave bands.

An RF shielded chamber works by completely blocking outside electromagnetic signals from entering the test volume while also minimizing internal signal leakage. The result is a controlled, stable environment where your measurements reflect the device's actual performance, not the noise floor of your facility.

Absolutely. With integrated automation via REST API and precision DUT positioners, the RF shielded chamber slots directly into high-volume production workflows  enabling fast, automated, and repeatable rf chamber testing without slowing down your production line.

Yes  and that's a key advantage. Available in containerized tunnel formats, the RF shielded chamber can be deployed at customer sites, field trial locations, or remote test points, bringing full lab-grade RF chamber testing capability wherever your project actually needs it.
