Abstract: Techniques of detecting telecom fraud involve applying a combination of real-time data analysis and risk models typically used in authentication applications to phone call metadata that is streamed to a database server on a continual basis to derive phone usage patterns as the database server receives the phone usage data.

Abstract: Small anechoic chambers for evaluating a wireless device under test (DUT) are characterized by a set of antennas to which a test signal is applied and for which excitation coefficients are applied such that the test signal approximates a single plane wave or a preselected superposition of plane waves in the near field of the antennas.
