Abstract :
Presented is a fast way for the measurement of the pattern overlap matrix in an arbitrary multi-port antenna system by a reverberation chamber. This parameter is central for calculation of the spatial correlation between different elements with arbitrary terminations. To the authors´ knowledge, this is the fastest method for the measurement of the pattern overlap matrix in a lossy structure.
