Antenna diversity measurement system in anechoic chamber

This paper presents theoretical and experimental results to demonstrate the capabilities of an antenna-diversity measurement set-up installed in an anechoic chamber. A numerical model of the set-up has been developped and provides theoretical results on the accuracy and limitations of the system. Experimental tests have been performed with dipole antennas in space-diversity with good agreement with the simulations.
