In this study, a simple but effective channel emulator that features a benchtop-sized (small-sized) reverberation chamber (RVC), radio frequency (RF) cable, and power controller is proposed for emulating a Rician propagation environment with a flexibly controllable k-factor. The developed emulator has the ability to precisely introduce the Rician propagation effect (with the desired k-factor) to the input RF signal. The performance of the proposed emulator was evaluated through measurement and its accuracy was validated by conducting a Kolmogorov-Smirnov (KS) goodness-of-fit (GoF) test. The emulator is suitable for both algorithm/prototype testing and educational purpose in wireless laboratories.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/embargoedAccessChannel EmulatorK-FactorKS TestMultipath EnvironmentRayleigh FadingReverberation ChamberRician FadingConference Object202210.1109/VTC2022-Fall57202.2022.10012997N/A0009275806003022-s2.0-85147033173N/A
