Error estimation with inline spatial channel model

A test system, comprising:

• one or more memories;
• and
• one or more processors, coupled to the one or more memories, configured to:
• receive a first signal and a second signal, wherein the first signal and the second signal are transmitted by a base station, and wherein the first signal is associated with a first antenna port and the second signal is associated with a second antenna port;
• extract first data from the first signal and second data from the second signal, wherein the first data and the second data are associated with one or more wireless communication channels;
• normalize, based on the first data, the second data to generate normalized second data;
• estimate a residual error associated with the second antenna port based on the normalized second data;
• and
• assess a performance of the base station based on the residual error.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a set of instructions, the set of instructions comprising:

• one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a test system, cause the test system to:
• receive a first signal and a second signal, wherein the first signal and the second signal are transmitted by a base station, and wherein the first signal is associated with a first antenna port and the second signal is associated with a second antenna port;
• extract first data from the first signal and second data from the second signal, wherein the first data and the second data are associated with one or more wireless communication channels;
• normalize, based on the first data, the second data to generate normalized second data;
• estimate a residual error associated with the second antenna port based on the normalized second data;
• and
• assess a performance of the base station based on the residual error.
