Echo Identification and Cancellation Techniques for Antenna Measurement in Non-Anechoic Test Sites
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper focuses on the measurement of antenna radiation patterns when fully anechoic conditions are not available and, as consequence, some undesirable echoes are initially present in the measure. Two techniques are analyzed and compared, which -starting from data measured in the frequency domain -allow the echo contributions to be identified and the antenna radiation pattern to be retrieved. The accuracy of both techniques is evaluated at the frequency of 22 GHz by comparison with measurements obtained in an anechoic chamber.

Unmanned aerial vehicle field sampling and antenna pattern reconstruction using Bayesian compressed sensing
Antenna 3D pattern measurement can be a tedious and time consuming task even for antennas with manageable sizes inside anechoic chambers. Performing onsite measurements by scanning the whole 4π [sr] solid angle around the antenna under test (AUT) is more complicated. In this paper, with the aim of minimum duration of flight, a test scenario using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) is proposed. A pr...
متن کاملGenetic algorithm for Echo cancelling
In this paper, echo cancellation is done using genetic algorithm (GA). The genetic algorithm is implemented by two kinds of crossovers; heuristic and microbial. A new procedure is proposed to estimate the coefficients of adaptive filters used in echo cancellation with combination of the GA with Least-Mean-Square (LMS) method. The results are compared for various values of LMS step size and diff...
متن کاملOverview of Antenna and Over The Air (OTA) Measurements in Reverberation Chambers
Antennas have traditionally been measured in anechoic chambers. An anechoic chamber is a suitable and necessary reference environment to measure large antennas that are used in a Line-Of-Sight (LOS) environment, but it is an unsuitable environment to measure devices with small antennas. Devices with small antennas are normally used in a Non-LOS environment, which is typically characterised by a...
متن کاملEvaluation of Gain Measurement Method for Long Antenna Using Synthetic Aperture Antenna
A cellular base station antenna has a narrow beam width in the vertical plane because the length of the antenna is more than 10 λ. While generally long distance measurements are needed to measure the antenna with high accuracy, some measurement methods in a short-range anechoic chamber have been used. The compact range method [1-2] and near-far field transformation method [3-6] are very popular...
متن کاملCalibration of Antenna for EMI Measurements in Compact Semi-anechoic Rooms
The accurate knowledge of the antenna factor is a fundamental requirement for reliable electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) measurements in emissions, immunity and human exposure tests. According to international standards, this would imply calibrating antennas in close-to-ideal test sites (calibration test sites), characterized by very large sizes of the ground plane and of the empty space volu...
