Abstract
A method and apparatus for performing TRP measurements of an antenna system uses a sampling grid that takes into account the spherical geometry and the directivity of the antenna under test, while considering test time. The optimization of the sampling grid balances the trade-off between reducing the number of samples to reduce test time, and ensuring accuracy of the TRP estimates.
