Accurate Post-processing of Spatially-Separated Antenna Measurements Realized in Non-Anechoic Environments

Antenna far-field performance is normally evaluated in expensive laboratories that maintain strict control over the propagation environment. Alternatively, the responses can be measured in non-anechoic conditions and then refined to extract the information on the structure field-related behavior. Here, a framework for correction of antenna measurements performed in non-anechoic test site has been proposed. The method involves automatic synchronization (in time-domain) of spatially separated measurements followed by their combination so as to augment the fraction of the signal that represents the antenna performance while suppressing the interferences. The method has been demonstrated based on six experiments performed in an office room. The performance improvement due to proposed post-processing amounts to 9.4 dB, which is represents up to over 5 dB improvement compared to the state-of-the-art methods.
