Abstract
We present an experimental approach to design an over-the-air (OTA) millimeter-wave measurement of error vector magnitude (EVM) and associated uncertainties that include correlations and nonlinearities. Our approach uses a waveguide-variable attenuator at the output of a modulated-signal source at 44 GHz and performs traceable measurements on a calibrated equivalent-time sampling oscilloscope. The measured EVM and the associated uncertainties presented here then serve as the conducted baseline for the eventual OTA EVM. We also discuss a noise based EVM estimation technique as a simple tool for planning OTA EVM measurements, but without a complete knowledge of measurement uncertainties.Proceedings Title
