Next-Generation Antenna Coupler for All Mobile Phones

The Willtek 4916 Antenna Coupler is an essential extension to all mobile phone testers. The coupler supports extended frequency ranges for 3G mobile phone testing in addition to WLAN and Bluetooth. Using RF coupling, the 4916 allows non-wired connection mobile phone testing. The mobile phone antenna is also verified when the 4916 Antenna Coupler is used, resulting in a complete functional check of all mobile phone parts.

Lower Failure Rates and Shorter Repair Times
The new mechanical and RF design provides more accurate and sustainable measurements, resulting in less failures and shorter repair times. The 4916 is the first antenna coupler with a continuous bandwidth covering the important frequency bands for cellular wireless. Unique to other antenna couplers, the 4916 also provides a moving shuttle (U.S. patent pending) that allows you to move the mobile phone to the best out of five possible coupling positions. This means the coupling value is no longer impacted by the mobile’s size or its antenna position.

The 4916 can be delivered with four easily exchangeable shuttles; additional shuttles are available:

The standard shuttle allows you to move the mobile phone to the best out of five possible coupling positions in the vertical direction. This means the coupling value is no longer impacted by the mobile’s size or its antenna position.
The XY Shuttle further improves the measurement accuracy and repeatability by allowing to adjust the mobile’s position over the coupler in two dimensions.
The PDA Shuttle includes a universal cradle for PDAs or wider phones.
With the 1210 PCMCIA Data Card Testing Option, even wireless devices for notebook PCs can be tested. See the info sheet for details!
