A measuring system serves the purpose of measuring a directional characteristic of a first signal sent or received by a device under test comprising sensor means for determining its position and/or orientation. The device under test is set up for determining the position and/or orientation on the basis of its sensors and communicate this information to the measuring device either wireless or wired. The measuring device can be an external or internal means. The measuring system comprises positioning means for positioning and/or orienting the device under test and a measuring device comprising antenna means for receiving the first signal and processing means for processing the received first signal. The processing means comprise sensor processing means for determining the position and/or orientation included in the first signal. The processing means are set up for determining the directional characteristic from the device under test and the position and/or orientation.
