The present paper describes the paradigm shift in OTA testing that came with the arrival of the 4G wireless system. The testing was previously mainly done in anechoic Line-Of-Sight (LOS) environments, and now in 4G it is done in reverberation chambers, emulating Rich Isotropic MultiPath (RIMP). Now we are preparing for the 5G wireless system, which is expected to have mm-wave antennas with steerable...
We present two configurations of multiport antennas for Multiple-input Multiple-output (MIMO) application. The configurations are comprised of three and four dual-polarized self-grounded bowtie antenna as the element, respectively. The MIMO performance of both antennas is evaluated in Random Line-of-Sight (Random-LOS) and Rich Isotropic Multipath (RIMP) channel models as two edge propagation environments...
This paper presents the recent developments of gap waveguide technology and random-LOS OTA test technology. The applications on beam-steerable massive MIMO antennas and the characterization with random-LOS are emphasized.
We present a new improved design of the self-grounded dual-polarized wideband bowtie antenna for MIMO application. The antenna is evaluated for the case when the original four ports are combined to two orthogonally polarized ports. The new antenna covers the previous bandwidth but has lower gain and wider beamwidth over the frequency band of interest. The 2×2 MIMO performance of the antenna in Random-Line...
We evaluate the performance of a dual-polarized wideband antenna in terms of polarization-MIMO in Random-LOS for two different modes of operation: 2 and 4-port excited mode. The 2-port mode was obtained by differential excitation of two opposite ports of the 4-port design by using two baluns. The Zero-Forcing receiver throughput is evaluated based on the Probability of Detection of two bitstreams...
Autonomous cars will in a near future drive around in cities and on highways. Antennas will then be needed to secure the wireless connection to these cars. To be able to test the antennas we have defined two edge environments: the Random Line-of-Sight (LOS) and the Rich Isotropic Multipath (RIMP). This paper shows a throughput performance comparison between measurements and simulations of a car-roof...
In this paper, we propose a linear array configuration for Random Line-of-Sight Over-The-Air testing set-up in anechoic chamber. For this aim, we use the self-grounded dual-polarized bowtie antenna as the element in the array. We present a new design of the bowtie to improve the array performance in terms of reflection coefficient and directivity. The new design has a simpler profile to manufacture...
