Reverberation chambers for testing LTE wireless communication systems

Reverberation chambers are successfully adopted to test last generation wireless communication systems. The aim is the replication of realistic propagation condition in outdoor and indoor situations where the multipath contribution statistically overlaps to the direct path between the base station and the user terminal. The insertion of quantified absorbing materials allows to tune the power delay profile, the Rician K-factor, and the coherence bandwidth according to real life situations.
