SATIMO specializes in the design and manufacture of antenna measurement systems. The company has moved antenna measurement techniques forward with a unique, innovative multi-probe technology (MV-ScanTM). The technology is based on the use of arrays of probes that are electronically scanned to measure electromagnetic fields. This technology has brought two major changes in the field of antenna measurement: the speed (a single electronic scan allows for the visualization of the fields in 1D or 2D almost instantaneously) and the flexibility (the array can be integrated in any kind of geometry for both indoor and outdoor measurements). SATIMO is part of Microwave Vision SA, which includes ORBIT/FR and AEMI, and offers full turnkey systems to measure a stand alone antenna or antennas integrated into complex structures.

Add MIMO Testing Capabilities to Your Current SATIMO Antenna Test Range 1/ MIMO Testing: A New Challenge With the recent mobile data market take-off, achieving the best throughput from rare frequency bands is a necessity. The data throughput of mobile and other wireless terminals is highly affected by fading, due to multipath propagation in both urban and indoor environments.

Multiple-input and multipleoutput, or MIMO, is the use of multiple antennas at both the transmitter and receiver to improve communication performance. This is done by combining signals received by more antennas in the wireless terminal. It achieves higher spectral efficiency (more bits per second per hertz of bandwidth) and link reliability or diversity (reduced fading). Hence, MIMO offers significant increases in data throughput and link range without additional bandwidth or transmit power.
3/ Control RF Environments for Mobile Terminal Testing The SATIMO MIMO solution creates a fully-operational Spatial Fading Emulator (SFE), allowing emulating specific environments at the wireless device location. A probe or a cluster of probes can be used to represent the direct signal; other probe clusters can stand for multi-path signals or interferers so that more than just uniform models can be set. Efficient end-to-end testing of the wireless device, including its antenna configurations, receiver, digital signal processing (DSP) and software, can be performed in a controlled realistic environment. It leads to shorter time-to-market and savings in quality related costs. SATIMO MIMO setup recreates real RF environments in an anechoic chamber

MIMO wireless devices are key to WiMAX and 4G mobile broadband adoption but their testing represents a new challenge for the Telecommunications industry: In the past, characterizing the device was considered enough; now, with new multiple antennas, testing and optimizing a device means characterizing its end-to-end reception performance in cluttered environments that simulate real RF environments. Due to the complexity of multiple antenna setups, a flexible and fast testing solution becomes a major asset in the antenna design cycle and final testing.
> MV-ScanTM Technology: The Clear Solution for MIMO Testing MIMO testing requires a multi-probe setup to emulate multi-path environments at the DUT location. After more than 10 years of continuous development, SATIMO multi-sensor technology has gained momentum and trust within the Telecommunications industry due to its speed and accuracy. During those years, SATIMO has developed a solid expertise in the calibration of multiprobe systems. Today, MV-ScanTM technology, by allowing simultaneous signal transmission to multiple probes and by minimizing calibration time, is the clear answer to the challenging demands of creating complex environment testing setups.
