Rapid over-the-air production line test platform
Provided is a rapid over-the-air (OTA) production line test platform, including a device under test (DUT), an antenna array and two reflecting plates. The DUT has a beamforming function. The antenna array is arranged opposite to the DUT, and emits beams with beamforming. Two reflecting plates are disposed opposite to each other, and are arranged between the DUT and the antenna array. The beam OTA test of the DUT is carried out by propagation of the beams between the antenna array, the DUT and the two reflecting plates. Accordingly, the test time can be greatly shortened and the cost of test can be effectively reduced. In addition to the above-mentioned rapid OTA production line test platform, platforms for performing the OTA production line test by using horn antenna arrays together with bending waveguides and using a 3D elliptic curve are also provided.

Periodic calibration for communication channels by drift tracking
A method and system that provides for execution of a first calibration sequence, such as upon initialization of a system, to establish an operation value, which utilizes an algorithm intended to be exhaustive, and executing a second calibration sequence from time to time, to measure drift in the parameter, and to update the operation value in response to the measured drift. The second calibration sequence utilizes less resources of the communication channel than does the first calibration sequence. In one embodiment, the first calibration sequence for measurement and convergence on the operation value utilizes long calibration patterns, such as codes that are greater than 30 bytes, or pseudorandom bit sequences having lengths of 2.sup.N−1 bits, where N is equal to or greater than 7, while the second calibration sequence utilizes short calibration patterns, such as fixed codes less than 16 bytes, and for example as short as 2 bytes long.
