Summary:
We construct two types of reverberation chambers, one is 4(m) × 2(m) × 2(m)-sized and the other is 2(m) × 2(m) × 2(m)-sized for realizing a multipath-rich environment for MIMO-OTA measurements. In this paper, we measure fundamental propagation characteristics, including amplitude statistics, multipath-delay statistics, spatial correlation characteristics, and cross polarization characteristics over a frequency range of 800MHz to 5GHz in our reverberation chamber. Also, we confirm the existence of spatially uniform area of 1m2 area, which might be sufficiently large to set a device under test (DUT) in the chamber. Theoretical considerations about the characteristics are also given to support the design of reverberation chamber.
