Pre-Owned Keysight Compact Antenna Test Range (CATR)


A high-precision Keysight Z2160A-1P6 Compact Antenna Test Range (CATR) chamber, suitable for a wide range of mmWave, Ka-band, antenna, and RF system testing.

Originally configured for FR2 gNB OTA work, it is equally well-suited for antenna R&D, mmWave radio module evaluation, satcom/Ka-band terminal testing, radar and sensing research, and university or corporate mmWave labs.

This unit is in nearly unused condition, fully instrumented, and ready for immediate deployment. Located in Southern California with turnkey relocation and global shipping support.

This pre-owned Keysight Z2160A-1P6 Vertical Compact Antenna Test Range delivers a controlled, accurate far-field environment for characterizing devices, antennas, and RF systems across 24–43.5 GHz.
Its precision CATR reflector, dual-polarized feed, and high-accuracy roll-over-azimuth positioner make it ideal for:

  • mmWave antenna pattern measurements

  • Beamforming and phased-array characterization

  • Ka-band terminal and radio module testing

  • Point-to-point / backhaul radio development

  • Automotive 24 GHz radar module R&D

  • UAV/drone telemetry link evaluation

  • Academic and research-lab mmWave programs

  • 5G FR2 OTA testing (its original configuration)

The chamber is fully shielded and absorber-lined, with integrated DUT alignment tools, Keysight control software, and calibration data from its 2024 installation.
