Reference: Final Proposal for an AMS-8100 Compact Antenna Measurement System Chamber

Dear Dr. Bhattacharya,


In response to your request, this final proposal is provided for an AMS-8100 Compact Antenna
Measurement System. The AMS-8100 is designed for antenna pattern measurements over the
frequency range from 800 MHz to 10 GHz.
Please note that this proposal includes the components needed for installation of a functional AMS-8100
chamber from ETS-Lindgren including the positioner, lighting and filters. All associated instrumentation
(including protocol-specific antennas) for performing antenna pattern measurements (i.e. VNA, spectrum
analyzer, etc.) are to be provided/procured separately by NIT Patna. An RF shield test shall be conducted
at the time of commissioning of the chamber to ensure shield effectiveness. An amplitude ripple test, if
required, is listed as an option in this proposal.

AMS-8100 Antenna Measurement System

1. SOLUTION OVERVIEW
The AMS-8100 Compact Antenna Measurement System is designed for test and measurement
applications of small antenna products over the frequency range from 800 MHz to 6 GHz. ETSLindgren will provide materials, labor and equipment required to design, fabricate and install a
chamber with 14-0 x 8-6 x 8-6 (4.27m x 2.59m x 2.59m) nominal inside dimensions. The AMS8100 is designed for passive testing of antennas including low-directivity communication antennas
for various devices such as Wi-Fi interfaces and mobile handsets.
The AMS-8100 includes a light-duty azimuth positioner and EMQuest EMQ-100 Lite Antenna
Measurement Software. The chamber is fully-lined with anechoic absorber and designed to provide
far-field measurements at a separation distance of approximately 9 (2.74m). The AMS-8100
includes an ETS-Lindgren 3164-08 open-boundary quad-ridged horn antenna and the appropriate
RF-cabling. Extension to higher frequencies is possible by adding optional antennas. Extension of
the lower frequency range is only possible using other ETS-Lindgren Antenna Measurement
Systems and configurations.

The AMS-8100 Test System can be configured to perform antenna measurements using a Vector
Network Analyzer (not included with the baseline chamber). With a Vector Network Analyzer (VNA),
the signal generator and multi-channel receivers are integrated into a single unit with phase lock for
both amplitude and phase measurements. Using a properly configured VNA and dual-polarized
antenna, both polarizations can be measured simultaneously. Otherwise, an automated RF switch
or mechanical polarization control is required to change polarization at each data point. Antenna
tests can be performed on stand-alone antennas or on the built-in antenna of a mobile handset or
similar embedded device prior to the integration of the RF module.

4. MANUFACTURING KEY COMPONENTS


ETS-Lindgren is the most vertically-integrated test solution supplier in the industry. We own and
operate six factories that design and manufacture over 90% of the key chamber components
including absorbers, shielding, doors, waveguide air vents, power filters, and positioning systems;
nearly eliminating reliance on 3rd parties. Control over manufacturing allows us to tailor product
performance to specific test applications and efficiently support your future operational requirements.
Key components are described in the following sections.

4.1

Shielding Overview
ETS-Lindgren's Series 81 Shielding offers a time-proven design with over 10,000 installations
worldwide. The Series 81 shielded enclosure consists of shielded modular panel sections
that are assembled with a clamping system into a self-supported enclosure. Sheets of 28gauge galvanized steel are laminated to high-density particle and/or plywood board core.
Panels are joined together with an extruded "hat and "flat" and "cove" clamping system to
provide uniform and consistent pressure contact against the shielded panel mating surfaces.
These structural clamping sections are zinc plated to resist corrosion and joined with selftaping zinc plated fasteners spaced four inches on center to ensure a secure shield. The
corners of the shielded room are secured with precision-machined trihedral end cap sections.

To maintain electrical isolation, a dielectric vapor barrier and underlayment are placed
beneath the shielded floor panels. Counter-sunk floor screws in the clamping system ensure
a smooth floor surface. For chambers without absorber on the floor, attractive vinyl floor tiles
are applied with adhesives over the exposed steel surface as a durable wearing surface. In
addition, the Series 81 enclosure can be converted into a ferrite-lined and/or conventional
absorber-lined anechoic chamber. These features make Series 81 a truly flexible shielding
solution, delivering high performance attenuation over a broad frequency range.

4.2

Absorber Overview
To produce our polyurethane absorber material, ETSLindgren uses a unique two-step impregnation process to
maximize carbon distribution uniformity achieving higher
performance consistency and better fire resistance.
Urethane foam block is first compressed and submerged
in a mixture of dielectrically-matched conductive carbon
suspended with a mixture of neoprene latex. The foam
absorbs the carbon-neoprene mixture, permeating the
foam cells and ensuring complete distribution. The
second step utilizes a solution of fire retardant ingredients.
This two-step process allows us to uniformly impregnate
the absorber, giving rise to its consistent RF performance
over a broad frequency band.
4.2.1
Non-Hygroscopic (Moisture-Resistant) Substrate
Traditionally, the most widely used fire-retardant salts are ammonium based compounds that
are highly hygroscopic (strong tendency to absorb water molecules from ambient air
humidity). Developments in chemical engineering have allowed ETS-Lindgren to utilize a
non-hygroscopic, moisture-resistant substrate. ETS-Lindgren absorber experiences a mass
increase of less than 3% when subjected to 95% relative humidity at 100 degrees Fahrenheit
for at least 240 hours. This new fire-retardant formula also improves our absorber fire
resistance with a lower level of fire retardant loading.
4.2.2
FlexSorb Coating
ETS-Lindgrens FlexSorb coating creates durable absorber tips that resist breakage, which
is especially important for high traffic areas. FlexSorb is dust resistant, easy to handle and
bends without breaking. FlexSorb is provided on the chamber swing door and around the
door perimeter, and along chamber walkways.
4.2.3
Extensive Testing to Ensure Product Quality
ETS-Lindgren is the only absorber manufacturer that tests all absorber manufactured (100%)
for key quality indicators such as RF-Reflectivity. Our absorbers are tested from 30 to 1000
MHz per IEEE Std. 1128-1998 using two vertical coaxial reflectometers. For testing above 1
GHz, ETS-Lindgren has two Naval Research Lab (NRL) broadband swept frequency test
areas that are used to perform RF absorber reflectivity testing from 1 to 40 GHz.
4.2.4
Large Manufacturing Capacity
2
Our 120,000 ft. facility in Durant, Oklahoma is the worlds largest absorber manufacturing
operation, capable of producing 10.5 million board feet of absorber per year. This capacity
has allowed us to produce absorber for some of the largest chambers ever constructed.

EMQuest EMQ-100 Lite Antenna Measurement Software


EMQuest is a powerful parameter-based data acquisition and analysis package allowing
configuration and execution of a wide variety of tests. EMQ-100 Lite provides fully automated
test capability for 2D antenna pattern measurements and semi-automatic 3D pattern
measurement by allowing the user to manually rotate the AUT to each position in the second
axis. When equipped with the appropriate optional equipment and drivers, EMQ-100 Lite
supports vector and scalar pattern measurements of passive devices and radiated power
measurements of active CW devices.

Sample 2-D Performance Graphs from EMQuest EMQ-100


Antenna Measurement Software
For Illustrative Purposes Only

Built-in post processing capability automatically derives a wide range of antenna attributes at
the end of each measurement including Effective Isotropic Radiated Power (EIRP), Total
Radiated Power (TRP), Directivity, Efficiency, Gain, Average Gain, Front to Back Ratio and
more. Scalar and vector response measurement capability is also provided for performing
range loss (path loss) and cable measurements. Range calibration correction files can be
automatically applied to any measurement. The software has built-in report generating
functions using factory defined report templates, 2D and 3D plotting capability and tabular
data display.
4.3.1
CTIA Test Plan for Mobile Station Over the Air Performance
This system is not eligible for CTIA approval for performing the CTIA Test Plan for Mobile
Station Over the Air Performance (CTIA OTA Test Plan), as the chamber is not physically
large enough to provide the required performance. In addition, the system is not capable of
fully automated spherical pattern acquisition and the EMQ-100 Lite software included does
not support control of a communication tester/base station simulator. However, the user can
employ this system for semi-manual pre-compliant TRP testing according to the principals of
the CTIA OTA Test Plan.

4.4

3164-08 Dual-Polarized Measurement Antenna


The 3164-08 measurement antenna is dual-polarized, enhancing measurement efficiency by
allowing both polarizations to be measured simultaneously without rotating the polarization
orientation of the measurement antenna. Using a 3-port Vector Network Analyzer (not
included), the system can be configured to perform dual-polarized antenna measurements.
With a VNA, the signal generator and multi-channel receivers are integrated into a single unit
with phase lock for both amplitude and phase measurements.
Using a properly configured VNA with a dualpolarized antenna, both polarizations can be
measured simultaneously.
Otherwise, an
automated RF switch or mechanical polarization
control is required to change polarization at
each data point. The EMQuest EMQ-100
software is specially designed to acquire two
orthogonally polarized RF power readings at
each angular position, mapping the spherical
radiated power density pattern of the antenna.
Antenna tests can be performed on stand-alone
antennas or on the built-in antenna of a mobile
handset or similar embedded device prior to the
integration of an RF module.

4.5

3164-08 Quad-Ridged Horn Antenna


For Illustrative Purposes Only

2005 Light-Duty Azimuth Positioner


The Model 2005 Light-Duty Azimuth
Positioner included is relatively RFtransparent. However, the exposed RF
cable from the base of the positioner to the
AUT can alter the measured pattern of a
low-directivity AUT due to surface currents
on the cables. Our solution to this is
offering an optional set of RF cables of
various lengths that are designed to
suppress
unwanted
currents
when
performing 2D antenna measurement of
passive antennas using a cable-driven RF
source.

7. TERMS AND CONDITIONS


1)

Definitions: Products means all materials, goods, or work to be provided to Buyer by Seller, regardless of type
(including chambers and shielding). Seller means ETS-LINDGREN INC., an Illinois corporation, or its affiliated entity
by or through which the Products are sold to Buyer. Buyer means the person or company purchasing Sellers
Products. Contract means the document or documents together constituting the contract between Seller and Buyer
for the sale, purchase and installation of the Products, and includes these Terms and Conditions.

2)

Applicability: These Terms and Conditions apply to all sales of Products by Seller. Buyer's order shall be deemed to
incorporate, without exception, all the terms and conditions hereof notwithstanding any order form of Buyer containing
additional or contrary terms or conditions. Although Buyer may submit purchase orders or other documents on
Buyers forms, Buyer expressly agrees that Sellers acceptance of such forms is solely for Buyers convenience and
that any different or additional terms or conditions set forth on any purchase order or other document submitted by
Buyer shall not apply and shall be void and of no effect. No acknowledgment by Seller of, or reference by Seller to, or
performance by Seller under, any purchase order or other document of Buyer shall be deemed an acceptance by
Seller of any term or condition which is additional to or different from these Terms and Conditions unless such
additional or differing term or condition is set forth in a document generated by Seller or expressly agreed to by Seller
in writing. In no event will Seller accept or be deemed to accept any conditions or requirements that are in violation of
the U.S. restrictive trade practices or antiboycott laws or regulations.

3)

Taxes: The prices stated herein are in U.S. Dollars and do not include any federal, state, or local sales, use, excise,
gross receipts, import, export, transport, value-added or other taxes unless so stated specifically in writing. Any
applicable exemptions to the above taxes must be made available to Seller prior to invoicing or such taxes will be
charged for the state of destination. Any exemption certificates must correlate with the state of destination. Such
taxes will be added to invoice prices in those instances in which Seller is required to collect them from Buyer; provided,
however, that if Seller does not collect any such taxes and is later asked by or required to pay such to any taxing
authority, Buyer will make such payment to Seller or, if requested by Seller, directly to such taxing authority.

4)

Price Adjustments: At Seller's option, prices may be adjusted to reflect any increase in Sellers costs resulting from
state, federal or local legislation, or any change in the rate charge or classification of any carrier. Notwithstanding the
prices agreed upon, if prior to delivery, Sellers costs for copper, aluminum, ferrites, and/or steel (the Primary Material
Components) increase more than 10% as compared to the prices of such Primary Material Components as of the
Contract date, Seller may pass on any such cost increases in excess of 10% to Buyer, provided that Seller notifies
Buyer in advance of such price increases. Buyer acknowledges that the Primary Material Components represent
approximately 20% of the price of the Products. In the event Buyer delays or causes the delay of shipment of any
Products, the price for such Products shall be subject to increase to reflect the Seller's prices in effect for such
Products at the time of the delayed delivery and to reflect Seller's increased costs resulting from such delay.

5)

Payment Terms: Unless otherwise specified by Seller in the Contract, Products shall be invoiced as of the date of
shipment, and payment shall be due net 30 days. Seller may, in additional to any other remedy available under
applicable law, charge Buyer interest on any amounts not paid when due at a rate equal to the lesser of one and onehalf percent (1%) per month or the maximum interest rate allowable under applicable law, and Buyer shall be
responsible and liable for all expenses incurred by Seller in collection, including reasonable attorneys' fees.

6)

Buyer's Financial Responsibility; Rights of Seller: Notwithstanding stated payment terms, if Seller shall at any
time doubt Buyer's financial responsibility, Seller may demand adequate assurance of due performance or decline to
make any further shipments except upon receipt of cash payment in advance or security. If Seller demands adequate
assurance of due performance and the same is not forthcoming within 10 days after the date of Seller's demand, Seller
may, at its option, (i) continue to defer further shipments under this order and/or any other order from Buyer which has
been accepted by Seller until adequate assurance is received, or (ii) cancel this order and/or any other orders from
Buyer which have been accepted by Seller and recover damages. If Buyer fails in any way to fulfill these Terms and
Conditions or any other provision of the Contract, Seller may defer further shipments until such default is corrected or
cancel the order and recover damages.

7)

Security Interest: Buyer hereby grants Seller a security interest in the Products, and all proceeds thereof and
accessions thereto, to secure payment of the purchase price for the Products and all other charges and costs for
which Buyer is responsible hereunder. At Seller's direction, Buyer shall, from time to time, do all acts necessary or
reasonable to protect Seller's security interest herein created and Buyer shall execute and deliver to Seller all Uniform
Commercial Code Financing Statements which Seller may deem necessary to protect its rights and interests as set
forth herein. Buyer hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Seller as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact, in its
name, place and stead, to execute, deliver, acknowledge, file or record any and all such Uniform Commercial Code
Financing and Continuation Statements. The grant of the foregoing power of attorney is coupled with an interest and
shall not be revocable by Buyer until all payments due hereunder (including deferred payments whether evidenced by
notes or otherwise) shall have been made in cash. Seller shall have the remedies of a secured party under the
Uniform Commercial Code in force in the State of Texas.

8)

Delivery Dates; Shipment Terms: All delivery dates are approximate, and Seller shall not be responsible for any
damages of any kind resulting from any delay. If shipment terms are specified with reference to Incoterms 2010 (or
any earlier version) the parties responsibilities shall be determined in accordance with such Incoterms except to the
extent the parties may otherwise agree. Otherwise, except to the extent the parties may otherwise agree, (a) Seller
may choose the carrier and means of delivery and arrange for transportation and insurance; (b) all transportation and

Terms and Conditions

17 of 20

insurance costs will be paid by Buyer; (c) title to the Products and risk of loss or damage thereto shall pass to Buyer
upon tender to the carrier at Sellers factory or warehouse, provided that if delivery is made by Seller's vehicles title
and risk of loss or damage shall pass to Buyer upon delivery to Buyer's premises; (d) Buyer may choose the freight
forwarder and customs broker, subject to Sellers disapproval; and (e) Buyer shall be responsible for filing all claims
with the carrier. No deferment of shipment at Buyer's request will be made except on terms that indemnify Seller
against all loss and additional expense, including but not limited to handling, storage and insurance charges.
9)

Export: If the Products are to be exported, this order is subject to Seller's ability to obtain export licenses and other
necessary papers within a reasonable period. Buyer will be responsible for all export and import charges and consular
and customs declarations and will be responsible for penalties resulting from errors or omissions thereon. Buyer
agrees that it shall not re-export the Products or any goods or items which incorporate the Products if the re-export
would violate United States export laws or the laws of any other country from which they are re-exported.

10)

Warranty: Seller warrants the Products as set forth in its Limited Product Warranty applicable to such Products in
effect at the time of sale, which is incorporated into these Terms and Conditions and which, if not attached to the
Contract documents, is available separately upon request. Buyer agrees that Seller may revise its form of warranty
from time to time after the Contract date by providing a copy of the revised warranty to Buyer or by posting it on
Sellers website.

11)

Claims: Buyer shall promptly inspect all Products upon delivery. No claims for shortages will be allowed unless
shortages are reported to Seller, in writing, within 10 days after delivery. No other claims against Seller will be allowed
unless asserted in writing within 30 days after delivery (or assembly if the Products are to be assembled by Seller) or,
in the case of an alleged breach of warranty, within the warranty period as defined in the applicable Limited Product
Warranty.

12)

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY: IN NO EVENT SHALL SELLER BE LIABLE TO BUYER FOR ANY SPECIAL,
INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF, OR AS THE RESULT OF, THE
SALE, DELIVERY, NON-DELIVERY, SERVICING, ASSEMBLY, USE, LOSS OF USE OR FAILURE OF THE
PRODUCTS OR ANY PART THEREOF, OR FOR ANY CHARGES OR EXPENSES OF ANY NATURE INCURRED
WITHOUT SELLER'S PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT, EVEN IF SELLER MAY HAVE BEEN NEGLIGENT. IN NO
EVENT SHALL SELLER'S LIABILITY UNDER ANY CLAIM MADE BY BUYER EXCEED THE PURCHASE PRICE OF
THE PRODUCTS IN RESPECT OF WHICH DAMAGES ARE CLAIMED.

13)

Excuse of Performance: Seller shall not be liable for any default or delay in performance caused, directly or
indirectly, by acts of God; war, terrorism, sabotage, riot, insurrection or civil commotion; force of arms; fire, flood,
severe weather, or natural disaster; strikes, labor disputes, picketing or other labor controversies; explosion; accidents;
any governmental action, prohibition or regulation; delay or unavailability of transportation facilities; shortage or
breakdown of or inability to obtain or non-arrival of any labor, material or equipment used in the manufacture of the
Products; failure of any party to perform any contract with Seller relative to the production of the Products; or from any
other cause which is beyond Seller's control, whether or not such cause be similar or dissimilar to those enumerated.
In the event of delay in performance due to any such cause, the date of delivery or time for completion will be
extended by a period of time reasonably necessary to overcome the effect of such delay.

14)

Loss to Buyer's Property; Patent, Trademark, or Copyright Infringement: Seller shall not be liable for, and shall
have no duty to provide insurance against, any damage or loss to any goods or materials of Buyer which are used by
Seller in connection with this order. Where any Product is manufactured from patterns, plans, drawings, or
specifications furnished by Buyer, Buyer shall defend, indemnify Seller against, and save Seller harmless from, all
loss, damage, and expense arising out of any suit or claim against Seller for infringement of any patent, trademark, or
copyright because of Seller's manufacture of such Product or because of the use or sale of such Product by any
person. Upon Seller's request, Buyer shall, at Buyer's sole cost and expense, retain counsel reasonably acceptable to
Seller to appear on Seller's behalf and assume the defense of any litigation arising out of any such claim.

15)

Seller's Specifications, Technical Data: Any specifications, drawings, plans, notes, instructions, engineering
notices, or technical data of Seller furnished to Buyer shall be deemed to be incorporated herein by reference the

information and documents in confidence and not to disclose such to any party other than Seller or a party duly
authorized by Seller.

16)

Site Conditions: Buyer shall be responsible for the structural integrity and the clean, asbestos-free and safe status of
the work area and structure in which Seller will perform any services and deliver or install any Products. Some
installation may involve welding or the use of materials, in which case Buyer shall provide adequate ventilation and
assure that the project area is free and clear of debris, dirt and obstruction. Buyer shall provide at its expense,
temporary lighting and power for the operation of hand tools and welding equipment, if necessary, and an accessible
dumpster for the disposal of debris. Seller shall clean up any materials, debris or obstructions created by Seller.
Installation of the Products by Seller is based upon Seller's access close to the site and the perimeter of the project
site, together with an adequate amount of weather-tight storage space on the project site. If Buyer is not ready to
accept delivery of the Products on the date the Products are to be ready, Buyer shall give Seller sufficient notice of a
local point where delivery will be accepted, or the material may be stored, within or without the Seller's factory at
Buyer's risk and expense. Buyer shall reimburse Seller for all costs incurred due to extra handling and storage. Any
such delay in acceptance shall not delay any agreed-to invoicing or payment schedule.

17)

Cancellations: After acceptance by Seller, orders shall not be subject to cancellation by Buyer, and Products may not
be returned by Buyer, except with Seller's written consent (and at Seller's sole and absolute discretion) and upon
