Performing OTA Measurements in an EMC Range – A Real or False Good Idea?

6:15pm presentation starts
Getting the money and space for implementing more anechoic chambers serving various test purposes can be a difficult path. The question “Dear Test & Measurement Solution Supplier, I have a large full-vehicle EMC chamber. Could you modify it, so it can do both EMC and OTA measurements?” is increasingly asked these days. Even though the evaluation of unintended electromagnetic radiation phenomena and intended radiation performance have a lot in common, they also differ in many respects. This talk discusses the trade-off that has to be made when choosing to combine EMC and OTA in one test environment and discusses the scope of specific combinations that work better than others.
