Built In Anechoic Chambers

Custom-Built Anechoic Chambers for OTA and 5G Applications

Orbis Systems engineers provide integrated anechoic chambers for over-the-air (OTA) testing within controlled RF environments. These chambers are typically implemented in modular 20-foot RF-shielded enclosures (other sizes available), lined with high-performance RF absorbers to suppress reflections and external interference.

The result is a precision test environment that enables accurate, reliable, and repeatable measurements, fundamentally for validating the performance of antennas and wireless systems.

Key features of Orbis chambers

  • High-isolation RF shielding- Blocks external interference and maintains stable test conditions.
  • Absorber-lined interiors- Creates near-free-space conditions to minimize reflections and enhance accuracy.
  • Automated positioning systems- Integrated DUT and antenna positioners for precise alignment and repeatable test results.
  • REST API integration-Standard software interfaces for automation and seamless integration into existing test systems.
  • Customizable design- Tailored chamber sizes, absorber configurations, and interfaces for specific DUTs, frequency ranges, and test requirements.

Applications and supported technologies

These anechoic chambers support a wide range of wireless testing, including smartphones, IoT modules, automated sensors, and other wireless devices. Orbis chambers cover both Sub-6 GHz (FR1) and mmWave (FR2) frequency ranges, making them ideal for 5G OTA testing in both R&D and production.

Tailored solutions

Recognizing that every industry has unique needs, Orbis Systems designs chambers for specific frequency bands, device sizes, and test configurations. From smartphone OTA validation to extensible setups for complex antenna testing, Orbis delivers industry-compliant solutions.

A lot more than just lining walls with foam. A solid anechoic chamber design combines high-isolation RF shielding, precision absorber placement, and automated positioning  all engineered to eliminate reflections and external interference. Get the design right, and every measurement you take is one you can trust.

They're the silent heroes of accurate testing. RF absorbers in an anechoic chamber suppress unwanted reflections and create near-free-space conditions  meaning your device is tested in a clean RF environment, not a noisy one. Without them, your data is just educated guesswork.

Yes. A well-configured radar anechoic chamber handles radar cross-section measurements, beamforming validation, and antenna pattern testing with the same precision as standard OTA setups  covering both Sub-6 GHz and mmWave frequency ranges up to 40 GHz.

Fully customizable. From chamber size and absorber configuration to DUT fixtures and frequency range  every element of the anechoic chamber design is tailored to your specific testing requirements, whether you're validating a smartphone, an IoT sensor, or a complex antenna array.

Absolutely. Designed for seamless integration and built-in automation, these chambers fit effortlessly into both early-stage R&D and high-volume production environments. They deliver consistent, repeatable results at every stage, allowing you to maintain the same setup from development through to deployment without disruption.
