A method includes defining a Center-of-Radiation Reference for a device under test, the CORR indicating a reference origin of an electromagnetic wave pattern formable with the DUT; determining a 3-dimensional orientation information with respect to the CORR, the 3-dimensional orientation information indicating a direction of the electromagnetic wave pattern; and providing the CORR and the 3-dimensional orientation information to a measurement system.

Methods and measurement systems for precisely evaluating a device under test

A method for evaluating an apparatus having at least one antenna array, the apparatus configured for forming a plurality of communication beam patterns using the antenna array, includes positioning of the apparatus in a measurement environment or moving/switching the probe/link antenna(s) of the measurement environment around the apparatus adapted to measure beam patterns and controlling the apparatus so as to form a predefined beam pattern of the plurality of communication beam patterns. The method includes measuring the predefined beam pattern using the measurement environment and/or the apparatus.

Method and measurement environment, apparatus to be tested

An apparatus comprises an antenna array comprising a plurality of antennas. The apparatus comprises a communication interface for receiving a control signal. The apparatus is configured to form a first radio frequency beam in accordance with a predetermined test case independent from the control signal using the antenna array. The apparatus is configured to form a second radio frequency beam that is different from the predetermined test case responsive to instructions contained in the control signal.

Apparatus, measurement system for testing an apparatus and methods for operating the same

Among network devices for use within a wireless communication network, a transmitting network device is configured to transmit to a receiving network device via a control channel one or more control signals for configuring the receiving network device for a characterization of at least one of the transmitting network device and the receiving network device and/or for a characterization of one or more communication channels between the transmitting network device and the receiving network device.

Network device for use in a wireless communication network and an end-to-end over-the-air test and measurement system for one or more network devices

A matrix switch comprises a number of switching elements configured in a matrix and a controller that operates to dynamically select one or more signal routes via the switching elements. The matrix switch can operate to dynamically route multiple signal routes between antenna ports to one or more transceiver ports, transmitter ports, receiver ports or termination ports. The controller can select the signal routes based on a set of criteria, which can include one or more use conditions, radio resource conditions or propagations conditions.
