Methods and apparatus for thermal testing of an antenna. Embodiments enable positioning a unit under test having an antenna in an anechoic chamber and, manipulating a RF transparent heat chamber over the antenna. A system can raise a temperature in the heat chamber to a selected temperature and obtain antenna performance information while the antenna is heated in the heat chamber. Temperature affects on antenna performance can be determined.
