Abstract:
The increasing integration of antennas in electronic devices, combined with the adoption of advanced architectures such as phased arrays, has led to a substantial growth in over-the-air testing requirements. Reverberation chambers can take over a significant load of over-the-air testing, due to their potential to speed up testing with several orders of magnitude while maintaining a high accuracy. We envision that new measurement methods will enable even faster and more accurate measurements of existing test metrics, but also ones traditionally not performed in reverberation chambers such as antenna directivity or error vector magnitude. We present a vision on the future of reverberation chamber measurement techniques, highlighting some of the technological directions we believe to be most beneficial.
