MilliBox, a developer of compact benchtop mmWave anechoic chambers and antenna positioners, will showcase new products and capabilities at the IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Symposium in Boston, MA, from June 7 to June 12, 2026. At booth 13075, MilliBox will showcase several demonstrations using their antenna positioners, compact benchtop anechoic chamber and their antenna test solution.
Antenna Positioner Solutions
MilliBox will introduce theFast Synchronized Trigger (FST) feature for its GIM04 and GIM05 modular positioner series. FST accelerates the capture of 3D antenna radiation patterns. FST will be demonstrated at IMS in an OTA setup. The setup shown consists of MilliBox MBX32CTR Compact Antenna Test Range (CATR) with the positioner GIM04F-300EV equipped with FST; the new Copper Mountain Technologies Frequency Extension Base BFx-02 and a pair of the new Virginia Diodes VNAX TxRx WR-10 frequency extenders for W-band in their M2 form factor for 3D OTA captures. This demonstration will show an accelerated live capture of an AUT operating from 75GHz to 110GHz.
Compact Benchtop Anechoic Chamber
MilliBox will also demonstrate the usage of MBX32R with fixed, moving and simulated radar targets illustrating radar performance testing scenarios. This setup consists of MBX32 compact benchtop anechoic chamber with WLL09 instrumented wall, GIM04H-300X, 3 Axis antenna positioner, stationary trihedral corner reflectors, and Eravant STR-793-12-D1 77GHz radar target simulator. This demonstration will show the modularity of MilliBox Radar Test Systems for radar characterization and tuning in mmWave and sub-THz domain.
Antenna Test System
MilliBox will showcase its MBX02K antenna test system when used in broadband configuration using the Anritsu ME7838 VectorStar VNA operating from 14GHz to 110GHz measuring a dual ridge antenna from Eravant. This will demonstrate the versatility of the MilliBox system for a wide variety of frequencies and applications. The system collects 97 3D radiation patterns in a single sweep covering 97GHz spectrum at once.
Millibox solutions will also be at other booths on the show floor at IMS. At Cornes RF Engineering booth 11057, a live demonstration of a Compact Antenna Test Range (CATR) developed with MilliBox will be shown. This setup features a lens-based near-field to far-field converter with a MBX02KC chamber with GIM06 antenna positioner. This system is targeted for Ka-Band and V-Band designs. The setup also features the MATEOS.NET measurement software from Cornes controlling the GIM06 positioner.
At Virginia Diodes booth 17044, the company will showcase its new form factor VNAX TxRx called M2 developed for ease of integration with 3D antenna positioners such as MilliBox’s GIM04H-300EV used in the demonstration.
“We launched MilliBox at IMS in Philadelphia eight years ago and since then, the demand for our products has risen continuously. As MilliBox is becoming a staple feature in many mmWave labs around the world, we continue to enrich the market with technical innovation in direct response to customer needs,” declared Dr Chinh H Doan, founder and CEO of Milliwave Silicon Solutions Inc., the company behind the MilliBox product line.
