Advancements in Antenna Measurement (eBook)

This book is a pioneering exploration of a new form of high-frequency

attenuation chamber that has the potential to revolutionize antenna measurement

techniques. The authors present an innovative concept that leverages the

classical principle of changing the polarization of radio waves, eliminating

the need for traditional non-reflection chambers. By analyzing experimental

results and searching for the optimal shape and composition of a depolarization

panel, this monograph provides valuable insights into creating a non-reflective

environment for accurately measuring the directional properties of antennas.

The book delves into the methodology of frequency analysis, optimization of the

depolarization panel, and the creation of a measuring workplace using this

panel. It highlights the crucial attenuation phenomenon of suppressing

cross-polarization coupling between transmitting and receiving antennas,

enabling antenna measurements in any laboratory environment. With its promising

results and practical applications in antenna technology, this publication

offers a compelling and cutting-edge approach to antenna measurement that will

captivate researchers, engineers, and professionals in the field.
