Abstract :
The benchmarking of small terminal antenna measurement facilities that are done within the framework of ACE (Antenna Centre of Excellence) are presented. The emphasis is put on measurements of small terminal antennas for the most popular communication frequency bands. Several test cases for passive antennas as well as for active devices have been defined and collected in a test set that will be sent to different test facilities around Europe in a round robin test.
