Reverberation Chamber results on 3GPP/CTIA LTE MIMO OTA 2013 round robin tests using different channel models — A comparison of performance

An Inter-Lab/Inter-Technique OTA Performance Comparison Testing by CTIA MOSG and supported by 3GPP RAN4 has recently taken place. In this contribution, test results obtained by different Reverberation Chamber vendors with the NIST, Isotropic UMI (IS UMi) and Isotropic UMa (IS UMa) channel models are presented. Standard deviations between different candidate methodologies show that reverberation chambers (RC) and more repeatable and accurate across vendors than their anechoic chamber (AC) counterparts.
