• Identical frequency coverage and beam steering range as BBox One
• Compact design: 117.4 × 100 × 99.2 mm
• Ethernet and SPI interfaces
• Optimized for User Equipment (UE) emulation

Applications

• 5G and pre-6G base station and device emulation
• mmWave antenna characterization and beam measurement
• ADAS and automotive radar prototyping
• Field strength mapping and RF environment simulation
• Wireless charging and communication system development

The BBox systems are characterized by user-friendly software control, high integration, and flexible configurability. Both variants offer industrial reliability and are available from stock at bq-microwave. Whether for university research, system integration, or commercial testing – the TMYTEK beamformers reduce development time and enable rapid iteration cycles in 5G/mmWave technology.
