The Hybrid Chamber for OTA measurements: Plane Wave Spectrum Quality Vs. Dynamic Range Trade-off
Paper in proceeding, 2022

In this paper, the trade-off between the quality of the plane wave spectrum synthesized in the test zone of the hybrid over-the-air (OTA) chamber and factors affecting the dynamic range of this measurement system is investigated. The hybrid chamber performance is compared to a plane wave generator (PWG) in free space. The performance evaluation is focused on the field radiated into the test zone (TZ) while maintaining its quality according to 3GPP specification. It is demonstrated that a good quality can be achieved for the synthesized plane wave spectrum.
