Abstract

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.
