Two-Stage Over-the-Air (OTA) Test Method for LTE MIMO Device Performance Evaluation

Cost-effective OTA performance testing of MIMO-enabled LTE devices

High-quality wireless devices require an omnidirectional and uniform antenna radiation pattern. This pattern can be verified by measuring the over-the-air (OTA) performance. These measurements, which are an essential part of the certification test, need to be extended to include MIMO operating modes. The Rohde&Schwarz two-channel test method makes these measurements both cost-effective and repr...

Overview of LTE MIMO OTA Throughput Testing in Reverberation Chambers

It is not possible to do direct tests to find the best LTE multi-antenna configuration for optimizing antenna diversity gain, antenna MIMO capacity or device throughput with the traditional antenna measurement method, i.e. an anechoic chamber. Of the two alternatives for making direct measurements, i.e. drive tests and the reverberation chamber, the reverberation chamber offers many advantages....

MIMO Performance and Condition Number in LTE Test

Application Note 2 As companies rush to get Long Term Evolution (LTE) products to market, engineers face tough challenges in testing these often complex devices. The mandate to include Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) means many engineers are working to optimize their multi-antenna architectures. To achieve time-to-market goals, the MIMO solutions under development need to work correctly i...
