Abstract—The need for high data-rate, reliable and low latency transmission in wireless communication systems motivated a multitude of wireless standards, spanning from 3G-4G, WLAN to the upcoming fifth generation (5G) of mobile networks. In this context, technology providers, as well as operators, need to develop accurate and cost effective standard test methods, to evaluate devices performance. Over-The-Air (OTA) test methodologies aim to reproduce radio multipath environments in laboratory in repeatable and controllable manner, avoiding costly field test. The focus of this paper is on multi-probe anechoic chamber approach. Section II is devoted to describe the setup of the testing methodologies. Their advantages and disadvantages are discussed. Multi-probe Over-the-air is the methodology selected for 5G systems.
Index Terms—Over-The-Air, 5G, MIMO system, emulator fading.
