Body phantoms, such as head and hand phantoms, have for a long time been used to simulate the human body, and to evaluate how it affects device performance. The human body absorbs RF energy, but it can also de-tune the device antenna, hence significantly changing the RF performance compared with free-space measurements.

In April 2019, Bluetest participated in Northern Europe’s largest science festival, the 'Vetenskapsfestivalen', in Gothenburg, co-hosting a special educational event for 8th grade school children, with a focus on microwave technology.

Total Radiated Power (TRP) and Total Isotropic Sensitivity (TIS) goes under the category of Bluetest's active measurements. Active measurements means that the transmitter/receiver in the DUT is active and powered up. Active measurements will give you a complete overview of how the whole system in your device is performing. These are parameters directly related to the antenna radiation efficiency, and are well proven measurements in Bluetest's reverberation chambers. The TRP and TIS measurements in a reverberation chamber are standardized and included in the 3GPP Test Specification TS 34.114.
