System

ICEy-mmW consists of the ICEy-Base unit, the fully automated micrometer-precision scanner for close near-field evaluations as well as the TDS ICEy-mmW module consisting of an EUmmWVx probe, a TDS remote unit, a DAE4ICEy and tailored millimeterwave near-field scanning software.

Applications

Any millimeter-wave of near-field scanning for R&D purposes requiring highest precision

  • power density compliance testing
  • validation of millimeter wave antennas and other passive structures
Basic Configuration

The basic configuration of a ICEy-mmW system is composed of:

ICEy-Base

ICEy-Base is the basic scanning system to support micrometer-precision near-field scans with any ICEy system consisting of:

  • a four-axis (x,y,z, probe roll) precision Gantry positioning system – with total axis travel of 600 × 500 × 120 mm3, 360° (scanning volume of 450 × 450 × 115 mm3 absolute probe positioning accuracy of <±10 μm.)
  • a fully shielded and absorber-backed test chamber
  • a computer vision system for surface reconstruction of the devices under test (detection limit < ± 20 μm)
  • a high-performance industrial-grade PC for system control and post-processing
  • ICEy interface and motion control electronics
  • 24" LCD, mouse, and keyboard
TDS Remote Unit

TDS Standalone Remote Unit specifications:

  • DAE4ICEy link: proprietary optical link
  • input: TDS MU8 optical interconnect
  • output: 3.5mm RF connector
  • frequency range: 100kHz (10Hz) to 10 GHz
  • dynamic range: > 130 dB
  • P1dB: > 0dBm
  • return loss: > 10 dB
  • power and control: USB
DAE4ICEy

DAE4ICEy specifications:

  • input: EUmmWVx probe interface
  • output: DAE4ICEy optical link
  • voltage range: ± 500 mV
  • input offset: <5 µV
  • power: battery (USB-C charger connector)
  • ISO 17025 accredited calibration
EUmmW Probe

EUmmWVx - Designed for precise near-field measurements in the mm-wave range. The specifications are:

  • frequency range: 0.75 – 110 GHz
  • dynamic range: <50 – 3000 V/m (up to 10000 V/m with additional PRE-10 voltage divider)
  • linearity: <±0.2 dB
  • supports sensor model calibration (SMC)
  • ISO 17025 accredited calibration
Software

The ICEy software is optimized for accelerated and automated millimeterwave near-field measurements and offers:

  • a scanning mode that provides strong computer aided measurement planning based on stereoscopic images of the device under test with better than 25µm accuracy
  • fully automated scanning, including automatic probe exchange
  • integrated automatic system validation
  • an advanced post-processor for graphical data visualization, result overlay, filtering and data export
  • tailored mmW scanning and evaluation features
  • compliance testing according to IEC/IEEE 63195 and FCC requirements
API A Python interface allows the user to customize and automate the measurement process with simple or extensive scripts.  In-scan hooks can call Python scripts to synchronize external measurement and test equipment with the ICEy scan progress.
Calibration Calibration is performed in SPEAG's ISO17025-certified calibration laboratory.
