Abstract:
A testing chamber is configured to evaluate the accuracy of a wireless communication device under test in a production environment. The configuration of the testing chamber may resemble an enclosed structure having a wall that includes multiple layers. An array of antennas, which serves as a layer of the wall, is strategically positioned within the testing chamber to receive and transmit signals emitted to/from the wireless communication device. Located within the testing chamber is either a stationary or moveable holder to support the wireless communication device. Furthermore, during testing, the forward link and the reverse communication links are monitored by selectively or alternatively adjusting and shifting the phase/amplitude of the antenna of the wireless communication device to mitigate the effects of multi-path fading.
