VAUNIX Digital Attenuator Matrices Double as Wireless Handover Test Systems

Vaunix Digital Attenuator Handover Test Systems bring affordability, functionality, reliability and simplicity to the microwave test bench.

Vaunix offers a range of attenuator matrices for unique wireless handover testing requirements.

Traditional fading simulations have relied upon complex and expensive single-box testers, which are ultimately limited by the number of ports, internal hardware, and proprietary and inflexible software. Other methods for enabling fading simulations may also involve an array of manual or programmable attenuators set to operate in a timed sequence. However, these methods fail to provide the necessary level of reconfigurability, low costs, and ease of setup/control offered by modular and efficient USB-based digital attenuators.

• Covering a frequency range of 500 MHz to 6000 MHz, the 64x8 Digital Matrix Attenuator enables control of 64 input signals to 8 outputs while managing the signal power for every path
• Each of the 512 connections are capable of providing up to 90 dB of attenuation with a step size of 0.1 dB.
• The attenuators are easily programmed for fixed attenuation, swept attenuation ramps, and/or fading profiles directly from the included Graphical User Interface (GUI).

Now handover and MIMO testing of complex 5G, WiFi, and Satcom antenna modules is easier, quicker and more cost effective than ever. Learn more about our family of products below.
