Description
F59709A Laptop Fixture Overview
The F59709A Laptop Fixture is designed to support accurate and repeatable over-the-air (OTA) and antenna testing for laptops and similar wireless devices. This fixture allows engineers to install TESCOM antenna couplers and perform testing across a wide frequency range from 100 MHz to 6 GHz. As a result, the F59709A Laptop Fixture covers most common wireless test requirements using a single, flexible solution.
Because wireless performance depends heavily on antenna placement and orientation, controlled testing is critical. The F59709A Laptop Fixture provides a stable and repeatable setup that helps reduce test variation and improve measurement consistency.
Wide Frequency Coverage for Wireless Testing
The F59709A Laptop Fixture supports smaller TESCOM antenna couplers, making it suitable for a wide range of wireless applications. Engineers can evaluate device performance across multiple bands without changing fixtures or test setups. This capability improves efficiency while maintaining reliable results.
In addition, the fixture integrates easily into bench-top and shielded test environments. It supports development, validation, service, and quality assurance workflows.
Custom Fixture Design Options
In some cases, an off-the-shelf solution may not fully meet your test requirements. When this happens, Concentric Technology Solutions can design and manufacture a custom test fixture for PCB-level or final assembly testing. CTS builds each fixture to match your specific DUT, technical requirements, budget, and project timeline.
This approach allows test setups to evolve alongside product designs without unnecessary cost or complexity. For more information about a custom fixture solution, please contact your CTS sales representative.
Integration with RF Shield Boxes for OTA Testing
For OTA testing, the grid fixture integrates seamlessly into a TC5916 RF Shield Box when paired with an antenna coupler such as the TC93026A. This configuration improves OTA test repeatability by maintaining consistent RF conditions during testing.
Why Over-the-Air (OTA) Testing Matters
Over-the-Air (OTA) testing verifies the performance and reliability of wireless devices, antennas, and RF components. Engineers use measurements such as Total Radiated Power (TRP) to confirm compliance with internal design standards and regulatory requirements.
OTA testing also provides confidence that products meet performance expectations and are ready for market release. Manufacturers, repair centers, and distributors rely on OTA testing to ensure consistent wireless performance across production units.
