USER GUIDE
mmWave OTA Validation Test
Reference Architecture
The mmWave OTA Validation Test Reference Architecture integrates mmWave signal
generation and analysis instrumentation, an anechoic chamber, a positioner, and positioner
control, providing the ability to measure the complete radiated field of the DUT in all
transmitting directions.
This manual contains hardware and software information, including step-by-step procedures
and basic information about how to begin using the mmWave OTA Validation Anechoic
Chamber and instrumentation with the mmWave OTA Validation Test Software.
