Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

Compact antenna test ranges belong to the test and characterization stage rather than to wafer fabrication or assembly processing. Compact antenna test ranges are typically used after a radiating device, module, or antenna structure has been built and is ready for electromagnetic evaluation. Compact antenna test ranges support engineering characterization, validation, and troubleshooting workflows for radio systems and antenna-bearing hardware.

Applications

The Keysight F 9650 A Compact Antenna Test Range includes calibration kits for chamber validation and calibration. The Keysight F 9650 A Compact Antenna Test Range includes LED lighting, a USB camera, a crosshair laser guide for DUT alignment, and chamber control software.[1][3][2]
