Abstract
An assembly for characterizing a device under test (DUT) (2), comprising a dome (5) forming a test chamber. The assembly further comprises a plurality of sampling units (4), wherein during characterization of the DUT (2) the plurality of sampling units (4) are static with respect to the DUT (2) and the dome (5), and spatially distributed over the dome (5) in a far-field range of the DUT (2). The plurality of sampling units (4) are configured to receive a signal inside the test chamber, and transmit an output signal based on the received signal for further analysis. In a further aspect, a method for characterizing a DUT (2) is also provided.
Claims22
An assembly for characterizing a device under test, DUT, the assembly comprising a dome forming a shielded test chamber, and a user variable and reconfigurable plurality of directional dually polarized sampling units, wherein during a characterization of the DUT the plurality of directional dually polarized sampling units are static with respect to the DUT and the dome, and spatially distributed over the dome in a far-field range of the DUT, and configured to receive a signal inside the shielded test chamber, and transmit an output signal based on the received signal for further analysis.
A method for characterizing a device under test, DUT, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a user variable and reconfigurable plurality of directional dually polarized sampling units static with respect to the DUT and a dome forming a shielded test chamber during characterization of the DUT, wherein the plurality of directional dually polarized sampling units are spatially distributed over the dome in a far-field range of the DUT, a signal from the DUT, and
- transmitting by the plurality of directional dually polarized sampling units, an output signal based on the received signal for further analysis.
