Abstract :
This paper describes the 3D spherical antenna measurement system for a passive antenna measurement, CTIA (Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association) OTA (Over The Air) testing and characterizing of mobile MIMO (Multiple-Input Multiple-Output) terminals. The measurements of the monopole box are performed for the calibration of the proposed measurement system. Finally, the proposed system is able to measure the experimental model of MIMO terminal with adapting the diversity antenna system.
