Helsinki, Finland – [2026] – Orbis Systems, a leading provider of advanced test system design and automation solutions, has announced the launch of its latest High-Frequency 40GHz Blocking Matrix, designed to meet the growing demands of modern RF test labs working with 5G, mmWave, and next-generation wireless technologies.

As wireless devices continue to evolve with higher frequencies and more complex architectures, RF test environments require flexible, scalable, and high-performance switching solutions. The new 40GHz Blocking Matrix from Orbis Systems addresses these challenges by enabling efficient signal routing across multiple test paths while maintaining excellent signal integrity and minimal insertion loss.

Meeting the Demands of High-Frequency RF Testing

The increasing adoption of 5G, Wi-Fi 6E/7, automotive radar, and satellite communication systems has pushed RF testing into higher frequency ranges. Traditional RF switching systems often struggle to deliver consistent performance beyond 26 GHz, creating bottlenecks in test accuracy and throughput.

The 40GHz Blocking Matrix is engineered specifically for high-frequency RF test labs that require reliable performance up to 40 GHz. It allows engineers to dynamically route RF signals between multiple instruments and devices under test (DUTs), making it ideal for applications such as:

5G and mmWave device validation

RF component characterization

Antenna and OTA testing setups

Automated production test environments

By integrating the blocking matrix into automated test systems, labs can significantly reduce manual reconfiguration, improve test repeatability, and accelerate overall test cycles.

Key Features of the 40GHz Blocking Matrix

The newly launched solution from Orbis Systems is built with performance, scalability, and automation in mind. Some of its standout features include:

High-frequency support up to 40 GHz, suitable for advanced RF and mmWave testing

Low insertion loss and high isolation, ensuring accurate and repeatable measurements

Modular architecture, allowing easy expansion based on test requirements

Compact and rack-mountable design, optimized for modern RF test labs

Automation-ready interfaces, enabling seamless integration with existing test software and control systems

These features make the 40GHz Blocking Matrix a powerful addition to both R&D and production-level RF test setups.

Optimized for Automated RF Test Labs

Automation is becoming a critical requirement in RF testing, especially in high-volume manufacturing and certification labs. The 40GHz Blocking Matrix is designed to integrate smoothly with automated test equipment (ATE), helping organizations achieve higher throughput without compromising on measurement accuracy.

With support for remote control and programmable switching, engineers can automate complex test sequences, reduce human error, and ensure consistent test conditions across multiple DUTs. This is particularly valuable for companies working in telecom, IoT, automotive, and aerospace sectors where test efficiency directly impacts time-to-market.

Supporting Future Wireless Technologies

As the industry moves toward 6G research, advanced satellite systems, and ultra-wideband applications, RF test labs must prepare for even more demanding frequency and performance requirements. The launch of the High-Frequency 40GHz Blocking Matrix reflects Orbis Systems’ commitment to supporting future wireless technologies with scalable and forward-looking test solutions.

The blocking matrix is also compatible with Orbis Systems’ broader portfolio, including RF shielded boxes, OTA chambers, antenna positioning systems, and custom automated test platforms. This allows customers to build fully integrated end-to-end RF test environments using a single trusted provider.

Strengthening Orbis Systems’ RF Test Portfolio

With this launch, Orbis Systems further strengthens its position as a technology partner for companies seeking high-performance RF and telecom testing solutions. The company continues to focus on delivering customized, reliable, and automation-ready systems that address real-world testing challenges.

The 40GHz Blocking Matrix is now available as part of Orbis Systems’ RF switching and signal routing solutions and can be tailored to specific customer requirements, including port configurations, control interfaces, and system integration needs.
