LitePoint and ETS-Lindgren partner to create
first solution for over-the-air testing of Bluetooth low energy
device antennas
LitePoint, a leading provider of wireless test solutions,
announced that they have partnered with ETS-Lindgren to create the
first over-the-air test system for performing antenna measurements
for Bluetooth low energy devices. Until now developers of Bluetooth
low energy products were forced to use wired test solutions for
performing antenna measurements, which can significantly impact
results for total radiated transmitter power (TRP), total isotropic
receiver sensitivity (TIS), and antenna patterns. This advancement
is critical to wireless product developers who need to characterize
antenna performance and ensure their product designs will work in
customer hands the way they were designed.
Allen Henley, Product Marketing Manager at LitePoint said,
“Antenna performance is critical for any wireless device - if the
antenna doesn’t work well, the product doesn’t work well.
ETS-Lindgren is widely recognized as the leader in antenna
measurement systems and with this partnership and new measurement
solution, together we enable designers to build better Bluetooth
low energy devices.”
With this partnership, ETS-Lindgren is now an authorized
reseller of LitePoint’s IQxel-M test platform with Bluetooth
Advanced software. The solution is integrated into the ETS-Lindgren
Bluetooth low energy Antenna Measurement System for turn-key
antenna measurements - providing TIS, TRP, and antenna pattern
measurements.
Jari Vikstedt, Wireless Solutions Manager at ETS-Lindgren added,
“Bluetooth low energy devices often have tight constraints on cost
and size. As a result, we are seeing a lot more designs with
marginal antenna performance. This directly impacts a customer’s
perception of the device, but now with this new test solution from
ETS-Lindgren and LitePoint, we can help developers build better
performing, more successful products.”
