38.1513GPPNRRelease 17TSUser Equipment (UE) Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) Over-the-Air (OTA) performance requirements

FR2 MIMO OTA requirement testing is based on UE-noise limited environmental condition, i.e., UE throughput characterized as a function of signal power incident to the DUT antennas.

The minimum test zone size for FR2 MIMO OTA 3D-MPAC system is 20cm. “Black-box” testing approach is adopted for NR MIMO OTA testing, the physical centre of the EUT shall be placed in the centre of the test zone, the EUT shall be completely contained within the minimum test zone size.

FR2 MIMO OTA requirement testing should be performed under primary mechanical mode. The primary mechanical mode for devices having multiple mechanical modes shall be declared by the manufacturers. Single primary mechanical mode for each device should be declared for MIMO OTA conformance testing.
