• Direct far field (DFF) method:
–A classical OTA system with measurement and linkantenna(s) placed displaced by 2D2/λ from the center of the QZ.
• Indirect far field (IFF) method:
– It creates the far field environment using a transformation with a parabolic reflector (CATR) or two-dimensional antenna array (PWC).

• Near field to far field transform (NFTF) method:
–Method that is using a mathematical transform to determine EIRP in the far field from a near-field pattern scan.
• Near-field without near-field to far-field transform (NFWOTF) method:
–Method that is using measurements performed in the radiative near field without the use of a near-field to far-field transform.
• Reverberation Chamber (RC) method:
–A typical reverberation chamber with a link antenna positioning system for initial beam steering purposes.

• For the “white box” approach, the exact antenna locations need to be known, likely via a manufacturer declaration:– The active antenna array needs to be aligned with the center of the quiet
zone which likely yields complex execution of test cases.
– An MU element for “Offset DUT phase center from center of QZ” will not need to be added for the DUT stage but a MU element for UE re-positioning needs to be added.
• For the "black box” approach, the exact antenna locations do not need to be known:– The UE is positioned with a common reference point similar to existing SISO
OTA test cases.
– Execution of test cases have relatively low complexity (repositioning will not be necessary).
– An MU element for “Offset DUT phase center from center of QZ” will need to be added for the DUT stage of the MU budget which depends on size of QZ, and range length.

Far-Field OTA methods
• DFF may be impractical due to the required far-field range R, specially when assuming that the size of the radiating elements matches the device size (“black box” approach):
• Note that in most cases it is expected that the radiating performance of array antennas will be limited to the region around the antenna.
• Thus, the “black box” approach supposes an over estimate for the vast majority of antenna arrays (other than sparse antenna arrays).

Near-Field OTA methods
• At near-field distances (as with a NFWOTF setup), the
beamformed antenna pattern will not be equivalent to
what the user will see in the far field.
• Nulls are not so deep.
• Pattern is smoother (less sharp).

04 Conclusions
✓ 5G brings unheard-off benefits and challenges
✓ Complex test set-ups, even for single-user test cases
✓ Additional UE requirements: Cooling, FR1+FR2, relative size to λ
✓ Hybridization of OTA Test methods
✓ Elaborated mMIMO Figures of Merit
✓ Standardization behind schedule
✓ 5G network deployment is here
✓ A lot of work to be done, with literally no time
