Abstract :
This paper proposes for the first time a method for estimating the gain of an antenna in a mode-stirred reverberation chamber. The method is based on the estimation of the Ricean K-factor which provides the relative transmitting power level of the line-of-sight path. Experimental results are compared with anechoic chamber measurements using a set of different antennas.
