Abstract :
Standardization work of the OTA test method for MIMO terminals is currently on-going. This paper discusses, mainly from the electromagnetics viewpoint, field synthesis with multi-probe technology with the emphasis on 2-D field synthesis using a circular array. Furthermore, opportunities and practical challenges of multi-probe technology for MIMO-OTA testing are discussed briefly.
