Abstract

In a previous paper, we have compared pre-compliant and compliant facilities for OTA measurements by carrying out a Round Robin Test on a number of different handsets supplied by one manufacturer. We extend this study here by carrying out OTA measurements on the same handsets in a reverberation chamber and comparing them to our previous anechoic chamber results. This study is important in the context of current developments in wireless standardisation for OTA measurements.
