Abstract :
The radiation-aperture characteristics are investigated in a wide band 2-15 GHz in both near and far zones. The optimum distances between the investigated antenna, a collimation mirror, and the collimation mirror irradiator of the compact testing chamber for antennas are determined. The main features of the collimation mirror and the compact testing chamber are presented.
