A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11921140B2) discloses a test apparatus designed to measure the transmission or reception characteristics of a device under test, including an antenna under test. The apparatus comprises an anechoic box with an internal space unaffected by external radio waves, a posture changeable mechanism for adjusting the device under test's position, a first and second test antenna for transmitting and receiving signals to or from the antenna under test, a reflector to convert radio signals into plane waves, and a movable antenna mechanism to vary the position of the second test antenna for testing at different angles of arrival or departure.

The patent also details a test method utilizing the described apparatus, involving selecting an angle of arrival or departure, adjusting the second test antenna accordingly, changing the posture of the device under test, and measuring its transmission or reception characteristics using the first and second test antennae. This method allows for comprehensive testing of devices in a controlled environment, ensuring accurate assessment of their performance under various conditions.
