Auto-Correction of Non-Anechoic Antenna Measurements Based on Multi-Taper Approach

Measurements of antenna prototypes are normally performed in dedicated, yet costly environments such as anechoic chambers (ACs). However, the AC construction cost might be unjustified when the measurements aim to support education, or budget-tight research. Alternatively, experiments can be realized in non-anechoic regime and refined using appropriate methods. In this letter, a framework for correction of antenna far-field measurements performed in uncontrolled environments based on multi-taper concept has been proposed. The method involves extracting a direct transmission between the measurement system components, while reducing the undesirable factors such as noise and interferences. Performance of the approach has been demonstrated based on a total of 16 tests of two small antennas performed in non-anechoic conditions. The framework has also been compared against the methods form the literature.
