This paper investigates the effect of the radius of a Over-The-Air (OTA) multi-probes ring employing half-wavelength dipoles, on the emulated spatial correlation. The Device Under Test (DUT) is considered randomly oriented in the test zone. Based on the correlation error metric, antenna effect on correlation is evaluated for a Clarke's and single cluster scenarios and OTA two-dimensional rings with up to 32 probes. © 2016 European Association of Antennas and Propagation.
