Apple iPhone 3G antenna test verdict: completely normal

“Is there a problem with Iphone’s antenna? Is the coverage worse than for other mobiles? There are many rumors on the internet. In the USA someone is going to sue Apple. We took our iphone to a test chamber for fact-finding,” Eva Wieselgren reports for The Gothenburg Post.

Bluetest is a company “which sells test chambers for wireless devices with small antennas. In a noise free metal chamber the mobile communicates with a simulated base station. The equipment measures how the mobile sends and receives signals under different conditions. For manufacturers and others who want to make a test the test is much faster and more reliable than travelling around to check the performance at different locations,” Wieselgren reports. “Bluetest’s chambers are used by among others mobile phone manufacturers such as Motorola, and TCO which has a system for certifying mobiles.”

“The values are completely normal, says Magnus Franzén, an antenna engineer with an M.Sc. in Engineering Physics,” Wieselgren reports.
