Antenna Measurement Techniques

Antenna measurement techniques are methods used to evaluate the performance of antennas, which are devices that transmit and receive radio waves. These techniques include methods like the far-field measurement, where antennas are tested at a distance to see how well they send and receive signals, and the near-field measurement, which assesses their performance close-up. Other approaches involve using anechoic chambers, which are soundproof rooms to eliminate interference. Techniques like gain measurement determine how effectively an antenna can direct energy, while radiation pattern analysis visualizes how the signal spreads in different directions, ensuring effective communication.
