What this setup also removes is random noise, which is good for repeatability, but bad for real-life testing. My experiences doing similar are that there isn’t much of a grey area between a “great” throughput/packet error rate and “nothing works”.<br><br>It also removes the real-world crosstalk between the antennas.<br><br>So good for some things, especially automated tests, but it’s not a replacement for real field tests in the presence of random noise.<br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Fri, Nov 3, 2017 at 15:51 Toke Høiland-Jørgensen <<a href="mailto:toke@toke.dk">toke@toke.dk</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Since I had to (physically) move my wireless testbed recently, I had to<br>
