Description

If you are looking for the ultimate enclosure for TDMA, CDMA, AMPS, PCS, GMS, P2T, PDA, and other wireless communications devices the STE3800 is the enclosure for you. The STE3800 is configured with a built-in Ramsey RTF Radiating Test Fixture to give you flawless go/no-go testing with guaranteed repeatability.

It is designed around the STE3300 to give you a whopping 5.5″H x 15.25″W x 9.25″D inside working space. The RTF provides a broadband coupling response from 800 MHz all the way up to 8 GHz. The heavy duty universal clamp system positions and holds the device under test in an exact position that can easily be duplicated for repeatability. Because frequent tests require the operator to visually inspect the device display (cell phone, PCS phone, etc.), the STE3800 features a large RF tight viewing window that overlooks the entire working area. The entire display and any indicators, LED’s etc. located on the device can easily be seen throughout the test process!

Double thickness 24dB RF absorbent foam lines the entire work area for a flat response. As with the STE3300, double row RF gaskets are used to provide RF isolation up to -90dB at 4GHz. A Type-N female connector is provided standard for the RTF antenna connection, and is located on the removable 304 stainless steel I/O panel that can be custom configured with any available I/O options.
