Abstract: A method and system for measuring a device under test are disclosed. In some embodiments, a method of implementing a measurement system is provided. The method includes providing a plurality of nodes, each node including a combination of a communication tester configured to generate a communication signal and a channel emulator configured to emulate a channel, and providing a user interface configured to enable a user to control at least one of the plurality of nodes.

Abstract: Some embodiments include a system for simulating electromagnetic environments that includes a channel emulator having a plurality of outputs, each output associated with a different operational path. Each operational path has a power amplifier, an antenna and a first coupling mechanism. The power amplifier is coupled to an output of the channel emulator. The antenna is in communication with a test region of the apparatus. The first coupling mechanism simultaneously couples power to the antenna and to a first measurement path when the operational path is coupled to the test region, so that a calibration state of the operational path can be determined and adjusted without interruption of a signal coupled to the antenna in the operational path.

Abstract: In some embodiments, an electromagnetic measurement system to perform radio frequency, RF, downlink testing of a device under test, DUT, in a chamber is provided. Exterior to the chamber is an emulator core configured to introduce an impairment in each of at least one transmit signal to produce at least one impaired signal for each of at least one emulated channel. Within the chamber, for each of the at least one emulated channel, an up-converter is configured to up-convert an impaired signal of the emulated channel to produce a radio frequency, RF, signal.
