Reconfiguration Capabilities of the Anechoic-Reverberation Hybrid Chamber for TRP Measurements of Active Antenna Systems
Paper in proceeding, 2023

A hybrid, reconfigurable anechoic-reverberation antenna measurement chamber was recently introduced with the vision to enable fast characterization of the active antenna radiated power and directive characteristics in a single measurement environment. The initial studies included its design and analysis in the plane wave spectrum generator scenario. In the present work, we investigate chamber reconfiguration capabilities for performing total radiated power (TRP) measurements. We show how different types of interchangeable hybrid chamber modules allow realizing several possible ways of measuring TRP. Trade-offs in terms of measurement time and implementation complexity are discussed. Finally, one of the methods, using a chamber array antenna module, is selected and demonstrated in simulations. Our initial results indicate TRP measurement error within ±0.5 dB.
