Using traditional VNAs to test antennas in OTA chambers generally requires long test port cables. These cables introduce insertion loss and phase instability into S-parameter measurements especially at microwave frequencies and above. As distances grow, the cable issues become so significant that additional test hardware is required to overcome the issues. This significantly raises the cost and increases the complexity of the antenna test solution.
