A Compact Multi-Probe Reverberation Chamber for Over-the-Air Testing
关键词:
Compact, multi-probe RC, OTA摘要
In this paper, a compact multi-probe reverberation chamber (RC) is proposed for over-the-air (OTA) testing. 16 probe antennas are used to reduce the measurement time. Typical parameters of the RC, such as field uniformity (FU), quality factor (Q factor), and independent samples are given. Total radiated power (TRP) and pattern correlation measurements have been performed to validate the RC system.
