Over-the-air performance testing of wireless terminals by data throughput measurements in reverberation chamber

Paper i proceeding, 2011

This paper discusses the possibilities of using the reverberation chamber as a multipath emulator for testing of wireless terminals, especially those with multi-antenna solutions implemented. The tests are consisting of measurements of data bit throughput, in order to relate the performance of the terminal to an end-user experience. The experimental part includes HSDPA measurements with focus on overall system performance in different channel models, and LTE measurements of individual antenna parameters.
