We are using ever more (smart) devices connected to the 5G network. The high-frequency antennas they contain are often integrated with chips, and this adds a layer of complexity to testing. TU/e researcher Anouk Hubrechsen took a concept from the world of acoustics and succeeded in showing that her unique table-top reverberation chamber is capable of testing the performance of high frequency antennas with much greater speed and precision. She wrote her doctoral thesis as a practical guide, and in her position as CEO of spin-off ANTENNEX she is already persuading a growing number of companies to use this new measurement method. New generations of wireless networks are being developed at a rapid pace. The move from 4G to 5G is currently ongoing, but the next generation, the even faster 6G, is already waiting in the wings.
