In the case of large antennas, classical far-field methods have two major obstacles

(1) impractically large measurement distance

(2) high atmospheric loss


To combat these issues for large antennas we introduce:

(1) Planar, near-field scanning methods

(2) Reflector-based compact antenna test range (CATR) measurements have been carried out up to 500 GHz

(3) Hologram-based CATR measurements


In case of small, integrated antennas, various techniques for on-wafer measurements are introduced. Antenna pattern correction techniques are also discussed. Lectures are accompanied by laboratory demonstrations and exercises. Participants have a choice to study a related specific topic prior to the short course, write a brief report, and present that to other participants during the course.

 

The lectures include the following:

• mm- and submm-wave instrumentation

• near-field scanning

• near-field to far-field transformation

• compact antenna test range (CATR)

• CATR realizations based on reflectors, lens, or holograms, • quiet-zone testing and antenna testing in a CATR

• antenna pattern correction techniques

• testing of small integrated antennas.

 

The laboratory demonstrations (exercises) include the following
• vector measurements up to 1THz

• scanning of near-field – computation of the far-field pattern

• antenna measurement in a hologram CATR

• elimination of disturbing scatterer effect in a CATR

• on-wafer antenna measurement through reflection coefficient measurement
