OTA (Over-the-Air) Testing for 5G Antenna - FAQs
What do I need for 5G Antenna OTA (Over-the-Air) performance testing?
For OTA testing of 5G, you will need the OTA chamber and the Base Station Simulation Tester to use with it. Please note that Total Radiated Power (TRP) and Total Isotropic Sensitivity (TIS) measurements are required.
Why does testing OTA require a base station simulator and an RF isolation chamber?
OTA testing has become a growing trend in 5G. The RF components' performance has to be confirmed in finished devices, using a base station simulator to verify the actual operation of the finished product.
mmWave is especially a challenge, since in mmWave smartphones the antenna is integrated on the front-end modules and there is no connection port for conducted testing. Thus, it becomes necessary to use OTA testing to confirm the connection between the antenna and base station and verify RF performance at the R&D phase.
What product do you recommend I use for 5G OTA testing?
Besides, I feel it is not easy and takes time to realize the successful connection between the device and base station.
