Field: Measurement (Instruments)
Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 0:
1. A system for the automated validation of a semi-anechoic chamber, comprising:
a receive assembly and a transmit assembly, each comprising a mast composed of a thermoplastic, a motor, a microcontroller, a height sensor configured to measure a height, and an antenna all coupled to the mast, the antenna comprising a measurement point, the transmit assembly and receive assembly each configured to autonomously relocate within the semi-anechoic chamber and to autonomously move the antenna vertically with respect to the mast; and
wherein the transmit assembly further comprises a positioning sensor configured to determine a location of the transmit assembly relative to one of a landmark and the semi-anechoic chamber;
wherein the microcontroller of the transmit assembly is configured to:
receive a validation arrangement;
move the transmit assembly such that the transmit assembly is at the validation location and the measurement point of the transmit antenna is at a validation transmit height; and
send an instruction to the microcontroller of the receive assembly, the instruction describing a validation distance, a polarity, and a validation receive height; and

wherein the microcontroller of the receive assembly is communicatively coupled to the microcontroller of the transmit assembly and configured to:
receive the instruction from the microcontroller of the transmit assembly; and
move the antenna of the receive assembly such that the measurement point of the receive antenna is at the validation receive height and a separation between the measurement point of the transmit antenna and the measurement point of the receive antenna is restored to the validation distance.
