摘要
Abstract
Millimeter-wave (mmWave) communication is regarded as the key enabling component for fifth-generation (5G) cellular systems due to the large available spectrum bandwidth. To make mmWave new radio (NR) a reality
tremendous efforts have been exerted from the industry and academia. Performance evaluation of mmWave NR is a mandatory step and the key to ensuring the success of mmWave 5G deployment. Over-the-air (OTA) radiated method of testing mmWave NR in laboratory conditions is highly attractive
since it facilitates virtual field testing of mmWave devices in realistic propagation conditions. In this paper
we first discuss the need for and challenges in OTA measurement of mmWave 5G NR under fading channel conditions. After that
two promising candidate solutions
i.e.
wireless cable and multi-probe anechoic chamber (MPAC)
are detailed. Their principles
applicability for mmWave NR
and main challenges are discussed. Furthermore
preliminary experimental validation results in a frequency range 2 anechoic chamber are demonstrated for the wireless cable and MPAC methods at 28 GHz.
