WaveChamber ™ RF Isolation
Enclosure
Highlights
Designed to provide a simple and space-efficient solution for large-scale
testing environments that involve multiple wireless access points (APs), Ixia’s
WaveChamber provides the isolation, cooling, and filtered signal connectivity
needed to achieve accurate and repeatable results. WaveChamber provide
an RF-isolated environment small enough to support rack-mounting and
desktop use, yet large enough to house most access points.

Designed to provide the
highest density
configurations for testing a
complete wireless LAN
(WLAN) system from
Devices, Access Points to
managed WLAN switches

Greater than 80dB of
isolation at up to 6 GHz
provides excellent isolation
for wide range of wireless
products, Antennas, RF
cabling, and Ethernet cable


PoE Ethernet supported
Updated to include USB and
HDMI (through DB-15) ports
Small WCH2900, Medium WCH3600, and Large WCH5000 WaveChambers
Bulkhead mounted connections for RF cabling, filtered 10/100/1000/2500/5000 Mbps Ethernet, USB, HDMI and
console ports make interfacing to any AP quick and easy. WaveChamber includes a fan and front-to-back airflow
providing adequate cooling, whether used on the bench-top or stacked in high-density racks.
