Abstract
A new measurement arrangement and method for measuring the performance of a device under test, such as an antenna, a mobile phone and other wireless terminals, are disclosed. The chamber defines an internal cavity therein, adapted to enclose the device under test, and including walls of an inwardly reflective material, rendering the walls reflective to electromagnetic waves, thereby simulating a multi-path environment. Thus, the chamber is a reverberation chamber. Further, at least one first chamber antenna and at least one second chamber antenna, are arranged in the cavity, the first and second chamber antennas being configured to transmit and receive electromagnetic waves within a first predefined frequency range and within a second predefined frequency range, respectively. A measuring instrument is connected to the device under test and the chamber antennas, for measuring the transmission between them. Furthermore, a frequency selective absorber is arranged in the cavity, the frequency selective absorber being arranged to absorb electromagnetic waves having a frequency within the first predefined frequency range and reflect electromagnetic waves having a frequency within the sec…
