Development of pulsed antennas measurement facility near field antennas measurement in time domain
Résumé
This paper focuses in the construction of a new near-field antenna measurement facility in Electromagnetic Research Department of Supelec dedicated to pulsed antennas characterization. The planar near-field measurement data are exploited through near-field to near-field or near-field to far-field transformation algorithms to determine the antenna radiation pattern in the different spatial areas. The measurement system is described and the results of the experimental validation of the developed algorithms are depicted.
