We present a method that allows a fast evaluation of total isotropic sensitivity with the use of continuous-mode stirring in a reverberation chamber. A limited number of standard stepped-mode measurements are taken to calibrate the continuous-mode measurements by computing the offset between the measured sensitivity level of the device and the device-reported reference signal received power. A comparison of the results from the method proposed here and the standard stepped-mode approach illustrates that the measurement results of the fast approach can be within 0.2 dB to 0.5 dB of the standard method and allows for a test time reduction of up to 90 %.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
