The rapid increase in number of used carriers and MIMO streams in modern LTE devices introduce new challenges when measuring radio performance. This white paper gives an introduction to Over-the-Air (OTA) measurements of such devices and what to consider when moving from a conducted measurement to measurements in a multipath faded OTA environment.
It includes configuration examples using Bluetest’s RTS65 reverberation test system and the Rohde & Schwarz CMWflexx Wideband Radio Communication Tester as well as an overview of important configuration parameters.
