Drone & UAV OTA Testing

Compact OTA Testing for Drone & UAV Wireless Communication

Evaluate LTE and 5G communication while the drone is operating inside a compact shielded OTA environment.

Morita Tech's Drone OTA test concept combines a compact shielded test environment, an antenna coupler, GPS antenna, drone controller and external communication test equipment to support controlled wireless evaluation of drones and UAVs.

How It Works

Evaluate Drone Connectivity Under Controlled Laboratory Conditions

The drone is operated inside a compact shielded OTA environment while its wireless communication is evaluated through a Morita Tech antenna coupler. This enables LTE and 5G communication testing under controlled laboratory conditions.

Inspection drone for LTE and 5G OTA communication testing

Inspection Drone

The drone can be operated inside the shielded test environment while LTE and 5G communication is evaluated over the air.

Morita Tech antenna coupler for drone and UAV OTA testing

Morita Tech Antenna Coupler

The antenna coupler creates the OTA communication path between the drone and the external communication test system.

A Shielded OTA Test Environment Sized for Your Drone

Drone platforms vary significantly in size and configuration. Morita Tech can propose the dimensions of the compact shielded OTA environment according to the drone to be evaluated.

The test setup can also be configured around the required communication interfaces, antenna coupler positioning and operating conditions.

The shielded test environment is not limited to a fixed standard size — it can be proposed according to the dimensions of the drone under test.
Drone Size

Shielded test environment dimensions can be proposed according to the DUT.

RF Interfaces

Interfaces can be configured according to the required wireless test setup.

Antenna Coupler Positioning

Coupler placement can be adapted to the drone and its antenna configuration.

Test Configuration

The overall OTA setup can be configured according to the required evaluation scenario.

Wireless Communication Evaluation
