Mobile phone measurement including the antenna

Some investigations of a test method for validating the mobile handset proposed by Telia has been made. Test results of 10 commercially available GSM handsets measured in the Telia test setup has been compared with measurements of the power, based on 3D radiation pattern measurements performed in an anechoic room. Comparing just the transmitted power of the 10 tested phones with the Telia test results a rather large deviation was observed. The principal difference between the measurement methods is the radio environment. This difference has been investigated in this paper by performing 3D radio environment measurements in the Telia test room.
