R&S®CMW-Z10 RF Shield Box and R&S®CMW-Z11 Antenna CouplerThe standard in shielding and coupling Test & MeasurementProduct Brochure | 04.00R&S®CMW-Z10 RF Shield Box and R&S®CMW-Z11 Antenna CouplerAt a glanceThe R&S®CMW-Z10 RF shield box and the R&S®CMW-Z11 antenna coupler clearly set new standards: Offering excellent shielding effectiveness and superior coupling characteristics, both devices can be used for frequencies up to 6 GHz. These outstanding features combined with a modular options concept make the R&S®CMW-Z10 and R&S®CMW-Z11 indispensable for any radiocommunications tester. Modern mobile devices usually do not have an external antenna connector. Connection to a radiocommunications tester must therefore be made over the air. The link be-tween the device under test (DUT) and the test equipment should be reliable and path losses kept to a minimum. Interference from external radio sources should be pre-vented as far as possible. The R&S®CMW-Z10 RF shield box and the high-quality R&S®CMW-Z11 antenna coupler together perfectly meet these requirements. The R&S®CMW-Z10 is made of solid aluminum. It is firmly closed by means of a lever handle with a defined stop. The bottom and cover will not distort under normal conditions. This ensures uniform compression of the sealing cords provided around the entire box – an important prerequisite for effective RF shielding. The cover is lined with absorber material, which minimizes reflections.The antenna structure on the R&S®CMW-Z11 antenna coupler board has been optimized to enable an excellent radio connection between the DUT and the tester. The highly broadband spiral antenna allows a wide variety of applications. Further highlights of the R&S®CMW-Z11 in-clude low coupling attenuation and the ability to place the DUT at any desired position inside the box without affect-ing attenuation caused by reflection.Key facts❙ Frequency range up to 6 GHz❙ Excellent shielding characteristics (< 80 dB)❙ Broadband spiral antenna allowing a wide variety of applications❙ Optimized antenna structure for extremely good RF coupling❙ Ergonomic closing mechanism❙ Sufficient space for tablet PCsAs an aid to both opening and closing the shield box, the R&S®CMW-Z120 option provides an additional rotatable handle.2R&S®CMW-Z10 RF Shield Box and R&S®CMW-Z11 Antenna CouplerBenefits and key featuresWide frequency range up to 6 GHzBoth the R&S®CMW-Z10 and the R&S®CMW-Z11 are suitable for applications up to 6 GHz, thereby covering all common wireless standards such as GSM, UMTS, CDMA2000®, WLAN, LTE, WiMAX™, Bluetooth® and GPS. The R&S®CMW-Z10 offers high shielding effectiveness, so that the effects of external interference are reduced to a minimum. The R&S®CMW-Z110 RF cable also provides excellent shielding for frequencies above 4 GHz. for positioning DUTs to minimize the coupling attenuation between the DUT and the tester.Designed for harsh, continuous duty and ergonomic operationThe R&S®CMW-Z10 RF shield box and the R&S®CMW-Z11 antenna coupler are designed to withstand the harsh condi-tions encountered in servicing. The hinges and dampers are extremely robust. The aluminum case offers high resistance to distortion, ensuring precise closing of the box over time. The closing mechanism has been optimized for ergonomic use, ensuring fatigue-proof handling while providing high-quality results.Bidirectional audio testsThe R&S®CMW-Z15 audio measurement option offers the accessories required for bidirectional audio measurements in the R&S®CMW-Z10. The microphone and loudspeaker needed for the audio measurements can be connected and optimally positioned within the RF shield box. The au-dio signals are transmitted via a D-Sub feedthrough. This feedthrough is specially shielded to minimize the effects of external interference on the shield box's characteristics. Audio signals applied via the loudspeaker are picked up by the DUT's microphone and transmitted over the RF in-terface to a radiocommunications tester. The tester uses a voice decoder to recover the audio signal and compares it to the original signal. To test the a udio path with the DUT's loudspeaker, the tester generates an audio signal and sends it to the DUT via the RF interface. There, the audio signal is recovered and picked up by the microphone included with the R&S®CMW-Z15 option. Again, the audio path can be measured by comparing the original fed-in signal to the re-covered signal.Ultralow reflectionsThe cover of the R&S®CMW-Z10 is lined with absorber material in order to minimize reflections. Strong reflections would cause a significant variation in attenuation as a function of the DUT position. The DUT can be positioned anywhere on the antenna coupler with virtually no effect on attenuation caused by reflection. Antenna diversity and MIMO testsMobile devices and wireless networks use multiple antenna concepts to benefit from diversity gain and enhance the signal to noise ratio or to exploit the spatial multiplexing scenario of the radio channel to offer users significantly more data capacity. The R&S®CMW-Z16 second antenna option, a circular polarized second antenna element, makes it possible to test the limits of wireless communications and benefit from transmit diversity antennas and measurements of the data throughput increase provided by multiple input multiple output (MIMO) systems.Mounted on the rear of the RF shield box, the R&S®CMW-Z16 allows radiated coupling of a MIMO DUT such as LTE MIMO 2x2. In applications like these, the standard antenna provides a coupling field in a 90 ° direc-tion to the second antenna element (R&S®CMW-Z16). This provides the best coupling of MIMO devices in a near field environmentand eliminates the need for using RF cables to connect the DUT to a wireless communications tester like the R&S®CMW500.Modular options concept and flexible assignment of modulesThe R&S®CMW-Z10 has four module slots for different optional modules. Available options currently include a 25-pole D-Sub feedthrough (R&S®CMW-Z12), a USB feedthrough (R&S®CMW-Z13), a twin N connector (R&S®CMW-Z14) and a 15-pole D-Sub feedthrough (R&S®CMW-Z15) for bidirectional audio testing. All mod-ules are optimized so that their effect on shielding charac-teristics is kept to a minimum. The module slots are identi-cal, allowing each module to be inserted into any slot. The optional connectors can thus be flexibly assigned. It is also possible to insert customer-specific modules.Sufficient space allows optimum positioning, even for large DUTs such as tablet PCsDUTs can be placed virtually anywhere inside the RF shield box. Even large DUTs, such as tablet PCs, can be accommodated. The RF shield box provides ample space Rohde & Schwarz R&S®CMW-Z10 RF Shield Box and R&S®CMW-Z11 Antenna Coupler 3R&S®CMWrun Sequencer Software Using a standalone R&S®CMW500 and with just a few configuration clicks for bands, channels and bandwidth, the tool provides a comprehensive result report and gives the user a first impression of inband compliance.

Each mobile device has a specific RF characteristic. Specific attenua-tion values must therefore be considered for each device under test when performing RF measurements using the R&S®CMW-Z11 antenna coupler. The R&S®CMWrun soft-ware enables easy measurement and management of at-tenuation values. After a DUT has registered with the R&S®CMW base sta-tion emulator, the attenuation values previously stored for this specific type of mobile device are automatically loaded and taken into account in the measurements. Attenua-tion values are technology- and frequency-dependent. The R&S®CMWrun attenuation value database therefore includes reference values for various frequencies and technologies, which are automatically set during the test run. This facilitates measurements with the RF shield box, especially in service applications. Errors are avoided, and reproducibility and throughput are enhanced.Highlights❙ Multitechnology solution■ General-purpose applications (R&S®CMW-KT051 option)■ GSM and WCDMA applications (R&S®CMW-KT053 option)■ LTE applications (R&S®CMW-KT055 option)■ Mobile WiMAX™ applications (R&S®CMW-KT057 option)■ CDMA2000® 1xRTT/1xEV-DO applications (R&S®CMW-KT058 option)❙ Ready-to-use solution, containing predefined R ohde & Schwarz applications for technologies supported by the R&S®CMW500/R&S®CMW280❙ Application programming interface (API) based engine for easy and flexible integration of new applications❙ Ease-of-use due to dedicated interfaces for operation, editing sequences, measurement reports and debugging test sequences ❙ Application for SCPI remote control via LAN or GPIB interfaceThe perfect solution for service applications: the R&S®CMW-Z10 with the R&S®CMW family wideband radiocommunications testers and the R&S®CMWrun sequencer software tool for automated measurements.Specifications in briefSpecifications in briefR&S®CMW-Z10 RF shield box and R&S®CMW-Z11 antenna couplerShielding effectivenessIncluding R&S®CMW-Z11/-Z12/-Z14With R&S®CMW-Z13 mountedOuter dimensionsWeightR&S®CMW-Z11 antenna couplerVSWRVSWR without DUT, with R&S®CMW-Z110, R&S®CMW-Z10 open0.4 GHz to 1.4 GHz1.4 GHz to 3.5 GHz3.5 GHz to 6 GHzMax. power ratingPolarizationConnectorR&S®CMW-Z12 D-Sub feedthroughPower pins 14 to 18max. rated currentmax. voltagecut-off frequencyData pins 1 to 13 and 19 to 25max. rated currentmax. voltagemax. pass frequencyfilter shunt capacitanceR&S®CMW-Z13 USB 2.0 feedthroughConnector inside antenna couplerConnector outside antenna couplerPower supplyData ratemax. rated currentrated voltageUSB-AUSB-B0.5 A5 Vlow speedfull speedUSB 2.0 high speedR&S®CMW-Z14 RF feedthroughConnector inside antenna couplerConnector outside antenna couplerImpedanceFrequency rangeR&S®CMW-Z15 audio measurement optionSupply pin 1, ground pin 2Microphone output pin 11, microphone ground pin 3rated voltagesupply currentrecommended operating frequencyoperating frequency rangemax. rated output voltagegain settings (switches inside)Speaker input pin 5, speaker ground pin 15operating frequency rangemax. rated input voltagerated input impedance5 V< 10 mA1 kHz300 Hz to 10 kHz1 V (pp)+10 dB (default), 20 dB and 0 dB300 Hz to 5 kHz20 V (pp)600 Ω2 × N female2 × N female50 Ω0 Hz to 6 GHz1 A15 V1 kHz50 mA15 V5 MHz< 800 pFfrom DUT from R&S®CMW< 3.5< 2< 3.5+37 dBm+33 dBmcircular N female0.4 GHz to 4 GHz4 GHz to 6 GHz0.4 GHz to 4 GHz4 GHz to 6 GHzW × H × D> 80 dB> 60 dB > 60 dB> 55 dB320.9 mm × 267.5 mm × 527.7 mm(12.6 in × 10.5 in × 20.8 in) 9 kg (19.8 lb) Rohde & Schwarz R&S®CMW-Z10 RF Shield Box and R&S®CMW-Z11 Antenna Coupler 5Specifications in briefR&S®CMW-Z16 second antenna element for diversity/MIMO measurements (R&S®CMW-Z14 required)VSWRVSWR without DUT, with R&S®CMW-Z110, R&S®CMW-Z10 open0.45 GHz to 1.4 GHz1.4 GHz to 3.5 GHz3.5 GHz to 6 GHzMax. power ratingPolarizationConnectorfrom DUT from R&S®CMW< 3.5< 2.3< 3.5+37 dBm+33 dBmcircular N female with N feedthrough6Ordering informationDesignationBase unitRF Shield Box, internal gas springs, assembledRF Shield Box, external gas springs, assembledAntenna Coupler, up to 6 GHzOptionsD-Sub FeedthroughUSB 2.0 FeedthroughRF FeedthroughAudio MeasurementSecond Antenna Element for diversity/MIMO measurements (requires R&S®CMW-Z14)RF Cable, up to 6 GHzAdditional Handle, rotatableR&S®CMWrun Sequencer Software Tool, general purpose, for the R&S®CMW familyR&S®CMW-Z12R&S®CMW-Z13R&S®CMW-Z14R&S®CMW-Z15R&S®CMW-Z16R&S®CMW-Z110R&S®CMW-Z120R&S®CMW-KT0511204.7208.021204.7308.041204.7408.021204.7508.021204.7808.021204.7608.021204.7708.021203.4157.02R&S®CMW-Z10R&S®CMW-Z10R&S®CMW-Z111204.7008.021204.7008.041204.7108.02TypeOrder No.For data sheet, see PD 5214.0601.22 and www.rohde-schwarz.comWiMAX Forum is a registered trademark of the WiMAX Forum.
