Abstract: Embodiments include an anechoic chamber lined with absorber to absorb electromagnetic energy incident upon the absorber and reflector edge interfaces. The chamber comprises a reflector to reflect waves from a source to form a substantially plane wave field in a test zone within the chamber. In some embodiments, the outer periphery of the reflector extends to the interior walls, floor and ceiling of the chamber. The outer periphery of the reflector is embedded in the absorber in some embodiments.

Abstract: Embodiments include systems and methods for testing a wireless device, especially one with multiple antennas. In one embodiment, a plurality of antennas are placed around a device under test in an anechoic chamber. Each of a plurality of the antennas is connected to a path of a variable path simulator capable of generating multiple paths between the antennas and external wireless communication test equipment. The variable path simulator introduces a delay spread into each path. In this way, a multipath environment is simulated with signals appearing to arrive from different angles and different distances.

Abstract: Embodiments include systems and methods for over-the-air testing of wireless systems. Embodiments comprise separated anechoic chambers containing wireless devices. The anechoic chambers are connected by propagation path corridors.

Abstract: The present invention provides apparatus and methods for a ridge horn antenna that exhibits improved directivity and main lobe of the radiation pattern at the high end of the frequency range for which its gain remains usably high, while providing a relatively low VSWR across the frequency range of operation.
