Abstract

A voltage standing-wave ratio (VSWR) measurement method and ensuing reflectivity characteristics are presented for anechoic chambers in the range 1-76.5 GHz. The free space VSWR measurements are performed using a composite antenna technique. By making use of two different anechoic chambers, the dependency of the reflectivity characteristics upon direction in the horizontal plane and absorber´s height is analyzed.
