To use the chamber safely, first read and understand the user manual, which helps you to perform all inten- ded tasks. The chapter titles give a clear idea of the tasks described. If you are unsure about a topic, ask your supervisor or contact Rohde &...
Page 11 For radiation testing, the DUT is inserted into the chamber by a drawer, which is closed by a tightly sealing door. Antennas installed inside the R&S TS7124M then interact with the DUT by emitting or receiving electromagnetic radiation. You can position and orient the antennas in arbitrary geometrical arrangements.
