BTL has partnered with Rohde & Schwarz to deploy a complete CTIA-compliant turnkey OTA test solution at one of its accredited laboratories in Taiwan. The single-source setup includes the R&S TS8991 OTA test system, dedicated measurement software, and a ready-to-use third-party test chamber with positioner. Rohde & Schwarz specialists also supported on-site during two key accreditation audits conducted by the Taiwan Accreditation Foundation (TAF) and CTIA Certification, ensuring measurement accuracy and test competency.
Rohde & Schwarz and BTL collaborated closely to make sure the test chamber and its supporting infrastructure provide an interference-free test environment, a requirement for the reliable measurements. The single‑source arrangement simplified procurement for the test house compared with solutions that rely on several vendors.
As the first test lab in Taiwan using the R&S TS8991 and accredited by CTIA Certification, BTL offers now OTA measurements on wireless devices that use 2G, 3G, 4G, 5G, Wi‑Fi and Bluetooth technology, especially notebooks and laptops. Furthermore, the measurement software of the delivered ready‑to‑run test system can be upgraded, keeping it compatible with new wireless standards such as A‑GNSS. By bringing in expertise in antenna measurement, Rohde & Schwarz also helped BTL extend the lab’s capabilities to more specialized tests such as satellite payload antenna assessment.
