Abstract

A cylindrical near field antenna measurement facility working in the time domain and combining Near Field to Far Field transformation is presented. A transient impulses generator of 3 GHz bandwidth is used as antenna feeder. The received signal is measured in time domain by an UWB sensor connected to a real time oscilloscope. Because this setup is based on outdoor measurement, it offers significant yields in installation and material cost.
