    Abstract: The disclosed exemplary apparatuses, systems and methods provide at least two realizations of synchronized antenna probe arrays. These antenna probe arrays may be used to generate and receive RF signals in a compact anechoic chamber for over the air antenna testing, or other applications such as far-field antenna test chambers. A compact anechoic chamber for over-the-air antenna testing may include at least: a chamber housing; an interchangeable irradiating test panel, integral to the chamber; a plurality of absorbing material at least partially lining an interior of the chamber and capable of directing the irradiating; at least one moveable cart suitable for moving and removing the antenna from the chamber; at least one panel interface for interconnecting the antenna and equipment for the testing, wherein a response of the antenna to the irradiating is communicated through the panel interface to the testing equipment; and at least one switch matrix for multiplexed switching of ones of signals of the testing.
