MULTIPLE-INPUT MULTIPLE-OUTPUT OVER THE AIR PERFORMANCE TESTING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17756692 titled 'MULTIPLE-INPUT MULTIPLE-OUTPUT OVER THE AIR PERFORMANCE TESTING

Simplified Explanation

The patent application relates to wireless communication and testing equipment for devices. Here are the key points:

  • The testing equipment sends test signals to a device under test (DUT) from different directions.
  • It collects measured multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) sensitivity results from the DUT based on the test signals.
  • The equipment determines the MIMO over the air (OTA) performance of the DUT using a single measured MIMO sensitivity result or an average of results that meet a certain threshold.
  • The patent application covers various aspects related to this technology.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Testing and evaluating the wireless performance of devices, such as smartphones, tablets, or IoT devices.
  • Optimizing antenna designs and configurations for better wireless communication.
  • Assessing the impact of different environmental factors on wireless performance.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Provides a standardized and efficient method for testing the wireless performance of devices.
  • Allows for comprehensive evaluation of MIMO sensitivity and OTA performance.
  • Helps identify potential issues or limitations in wireless communication.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Enables manufacturers to ensure the quality and reliability of wireless devices.
  • Facilitates the development of more efficient and robust wireless communication technologies.
  • Helps improve the overall user experience by optimizing wireless performance.


Original Abstract Submitted

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a testing equipment may transmit a set of test signals to a device under test (DUT) from a plurality of directions relative to the DUT; obtain, from the DUT, a set of measured multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) sensitivity results based at least in part on the set of test signals; and determine a MIMO over the air (OTA) performance of the DUT based at least in part on a single measured MIMO sensitivity result of the set of measured MIMO sensitivity results or an average of MIMO sensitivity results, in a subset of the set of measured MIMO sensitivity results, that satisfy a threshold percentile. Numerous other aspects are provided.
