Antenna Pattern Reconstruction from Measurements in a Reverberant Chamber using 3D Impulse Response

Abstract

Impulse Response with 3D is a novel free-space pattern reconstruction technique which features deconvolution in azimuth and elevation domain to enhance quality of free-space pattern reconstruction compared with the previous technique, Impulse Response with 2D. Antenna configuration is designed to operate at 9 GHz (X band) in a reverberation chamber and after simulated, its results are computed through Impulse Response with 2D and 3D to calculate free-space radiation pattern. The objective of this communication is to show the feasibility to use Impulse Response with 3D instead of Impulse response with 2D as a tool to reconstruct free-space antenna pattern based on the comparison of accuracy and error of both methods.
