1. A system comprising:
at least one sensor, configured to receive a signal with a spatial electromagnetic radiation characteristic from an apparatus and to provide a sensor signal based on the signal received with the spatial electromagnetic radiation characteristic;
a control unit configured to receive the sensor signal and to transmit a control signal to one or more receivers including the apparatus;
wherein the control signal comprises instructions to use a spatial electromagnetic radiation characteristic different from a predetermined operation mode to instruct the apparatus to deviate from the predetermined operation mode in accordance with the control signal;
wherein the system is configured to transmit the control signal to the apparatus so as to control the apparatus to transmit an output signal using an interface, the output signal comprising information related to at least one of: information related to input samples received by the apparatus; information related to an evaluation of a baseband of the apparatus; and/or information related to an evaluation of commands transmitted to an application hardware layer of the apparatus; or
wherein the sensor is one of a plurality of sensors that are distributed nodes or UEs and wherein the measurement system is configured to perform a test in accordance with the control signal outside a measurement chamber.
