Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a measurement system for testing a device under test over-the-air. The measurement system comprises a signal generation and/or analysis equipment, several antennas, several reflectors and a test location for the device under test. The antennas are connected with the signal generation and/or analysis equipment in a signal-transmitting manner Each of the antennas is configured to transmit and/or receive an electromagnetic signal so that a beam path is provided between the respective antenna and the test location. The electromagnetic signal is reflected by one of the reflectors so that the electromagnetic signal corresponds to a planar wave, thereby providing indirect far field conditions for testing. A first reflector of the several reflectors is orientated at a first azimuth angle and at a first elevation angle with respect to a center of the test location.

Abstract: A testing method for testing mobile communication devices comprises measuring a three-dimensional antenna pattern of an active phased antenna array (AAS) of the mobile communication device, with the AAS being maintained at a specific beamforming alignment during the measurement. A predefined base fading profile is calibrated with the measured three-dimensional antenna pattern to obtain an optimized fading profile adapted to the specific beamforming alignment. A channel model for emulation of a base station is emulated on the basis of the optimized fading profile. The method further involves performing a receiver test on the mobile communication device using the emulated channel model. The testing method may in some embodiments be a radiated two-stage over-the-air (RTS-OTA) testing method.
