Abstract :
A new indoor facility for mono and bi-static electromagnetic measurements has been developed and built at INTA, Spain. The system has been designed to be versatile enough to carry out different tests such as near-field antenna measurements, material absorption measurements and electromagnetic characterization of materials. Furthermore, the facility allows the researchers to investigate in the field of near-field to far-field transformation for radar cross section analysis. The paper describes the novel concept behind the falicity and presents preliminary measurement results on different applications.
