5G mmWave Revolution: an insight into Over-The-Air Testing Webinar
1:00:26
esting of base stations or User Devices (UEs) was established with the early 2G systems based primarily on conducted connections. Even on a component level, usually, an RF connector was available, allowing connection of a test instrument to measure the metrics of interest. Why do 5G devices and base stations need to be tested Over-The-Air (OTA)? Learn about the fundamentals, challenges and best-practices of 5G mmWave OTA testing. This webinar explains the background and motivation for using mmWaves and OTA testing alongside the challenges related to path loss and signal propagation. Test Chamber approaches (DFF, IFF, NF) are also described, along with related test challenges (Quiet zone, Calibration, Measurement Speed, Uncertainty). Choosing the best test solution helps to speed time to market, lower cost-of-test and give companies a competitive advantage in the new frontier of wireless.
