Several Major Methods for OTA Performance Testing of Mobile Terminal

Abstract

Several major methods for Over the Air (OTA) performance measurement of wireless devices are presented, detailed and compared in this paper, the power-stepping down method defined in the Cellular Telecommunications and Internet Association (CTIA) test plan [1], the RSS-based method and the RSS-curve based method proposed in [2-4], and the transmit-receive co-frequency based method. The derivations of the theoretical foundations for all methods were detailed and the results given by all methods were compared in this paper. Those methods are suitable for receiver sensitivity measurement of single input, single output radio systems such as cellular communication, WiFi, ZigBee and Bluetooth systems.
