Abstract: The invention discloses a hybrid compact, near-field-to-far-field and direct-far-field test system in an anechoic chamber. It comprises a curved reflector with its primary feed antenna set situated on a lateral side and pointing towards it, a secondary feed antenna set pierced to the reflector or in front of it, and one or several sets of antennas or devices under test (AUT/DUT), and their 3D turntable tower placed at a quiet zone, for which roll, elevation and azimuth can change. In a receive process, the primary antenna set transmits several signals towards the reflector, which reflects these signals towards the quiet zone in the form of planar wavefronts. The secondary antenna set also transmits several signals, but directly towards the quiet zone in spherical wavefronts. The AUT/DUT receives all these signals simultaneously. Through reciprocity, a similar measurement process for transmission can be performed.
