A novel mode-stirred reverberation chamber (RC) is designed and analyzed for millimeter wave bands. The size of the proposed RC with dimensions of 0.9 m <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\times0.9$ </tex-math></inline-formula> m <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\times1.1$ </tex-math></inline-formula> m is suitable for user equipment (UE) tests. Two Z-shaped mode-stirrers are applied to generate a uniform field. To fulfill the communication and test requirements for user equipment, reference, measurement and link antennas with a large bandwidth are utilized, which can support both the frequency range (FR) 1 and FR2 bands of the 5G spectrum. The lowest usable frequency (LUF) and mode density were first calculated and examined. Then, the power transfer function (PTF) from 2 GHz to 40 GHz was obtained to verify the path loss. Three measurement campaigns were carried out to verify the accuracy of the RC. Firstly, the transmission power of the passive antenna for a conductive test was compared with the RC over the air (OTA) total radiated power (TRP) for single-tone signals. Then, signals with bandwidths of 100 MHz and 400 MHz were applied. A maximum power difference of only 0.8 dB was found in the above two experiments. Furthermore, the TRP for the same commercial 5G UE in both RC and compact antenna test range (CATR) systems was measured and compared. To the best of the authors&#x2019; knowledge, this is the first work to provide TRP results for 5G millimeter wave bands in a RC. The test results show that the TRP values for the two systems are almost the same with a maximum deviation of 0.5 dB, while the time required to carry out tests using the RC is lower than that for the CATR system.
