1. A test system for testing a device under test on a bottom of a test chamber, the test system comprising:
- a measurement antenna mounted on the bottom or on a side wall of the test chamber, the measurement antenna is adapted to emit outgoing test signals to the device under test and receive incoming test signals emitted by the device under test; and
a reflector mounted on a ceiling of the test chamber, the reflector is adapted to collimate the test signals emitted by the measurement antenna in a direction of the device under test such that homogenous radiation of the device under test is achieved, and to focus the test signals emitted by the device under test in a direction of the measurement antenna,wherein radio frequency waves between the device under test and the reflector run parallel to each other and the side walls of the test chamber are not covered by the test signals,the reflector focuses the radio frequency waves emitted by the device under test on the measurement antenna, andwherein a signal path of the outgoing test signals and the incoming test signals between the device under test and the reflector is in a vertical direction.

Abstract
A test system for testing a wireless device under test in a test chamber. The device under test may be located on a bottom of the test chamber, and a measurement antenna may be mounted on a bottom or a side wall of the test chamber. Further, a reflector may be mounted on a ceiling of the test chamber. Accordingly, a signal path for testing the device under test may be established by reflecting the wireless signals between the device under test and the measurement antenna by the reflector.

10. A test method for testing a device under test on a bottom of a test chamber, the test method comprising:
-
emitting outgoing test signals to the device under test or receiving incoming test signals emitted by the device under test by a measurement antenna mounted on the bottom or on a side wall of the test chamber; and collimating the test signals emitted by the measurement antenna in a direction of the device under test such that homogenous radiation of the device under test is achieved or focusing the test signals emitted by the device under test in a direction of the measurement antenna by a reflector mounted on a ceiling of the test chamber, wherein radio frequency waves between the device under test and the reflector run parallel to each other and the side walls of the test chamber are not covered by the test signals, the radio frequency waves emitted by the device under test are focused on the measurement antenna, and wherein a signal path of the outgoing test signals and the incoming test signals between the device under test and the reflector is in a vertical direction. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
