Abstract :
In this paper a fast and repeatable way of characterizing active, MIMO-enabled wireless communication units is presented. The measurement setup utilizes two connected reverberation chambers, which introduces the possibility of controlling the wireless channel in detail. Throughput is used as performance metric, and will in this case include the effect of the antenna array on the total performance.
