Software and hardware near-field transformations for 5G OTA testing
Increased capacity in 5G mobile
communications requires rolling out
massive MIMO base stations with network
and mobile terminals at both sub-
6 GHz and mmWave frequencies. Dynamic
beamforming and the absence of
RF test ports on the devices being tested
make over-the-air (OTA) measurement
pivotal to 5G deployment Fortunately,
OTA testing solutions employing software
and hardware near-field transformations
are meeting the challenges.
