Presented is a fast way for the measurement of the pattern overlap matrix in an arbitrary multi‐port antenna system by a reverberation chamber. This parameter is central for calculation of the spatial correlation between different elements with arbitrary terminations. To the authors' knowledge, this is the fastest method for the measurement of the pattern overlap matrix in a lossy structure.
