Alfamation has launched the WSC-6, an RF wireless test chamber that is claimed to be three times smaller than alternative products on the market. The test chamber provides comparable performance to competitors' solutions, offering typical shielding effectiveness of over 90dB. However, it is one third the size of most other solutions, measuring only 230mm x 280mm x 130mm. This particularly compact size and the fact that the device is stackable, creates new space on the factory floor. Depending on the product size and application, the chamber can typically host more than one device under test. The chamber can be employed to test any wireless device transmitting in the 500MHz-6GHz range. This comprises any wireless device for consumer and automotive applications, including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, LTE, 5G smartphone, and V2X modules. Mauro Arigossi, CEO of Alfamation, said, "The WSC-6's shielding performance is comparable to anything on the market. However, it is just one third the usual size - and that is key." The chamber is very heavy-duty, constructed on a solid cast aluminium base, enabling pneumatically-assisted loading and unloading. It comprises status LEDs and offers all the needed space for testing-related electronics.
