Abstract

In this study, an effective echo-suppression and cancellation technique using reflectors in semi-anechoic chamber and time-domain measurement is proposed. By using the proposed technique, the uniformity of electric field in QZ(Quiet Zone) could be improved and the antenna test environments similar to the fully anechoic chamber could be accomplished. The performances of the proposed test environments is verified with the simulated and measured data. And it is demonstrated that this test environment is possible to use the measuring the radiational characteristics of a small antenna in VHF band.

본 논문에서는 반무반사실내에서 반사체와 시간영역 측정을 이용한 반사파의 효과적인 억제 기술을 제안하고 있다. 제안한 기법을 이용하여 측정 영역상에 전기장의 균일도를 향상시켜 완전 무반사실과 유사한 안테나 측정환경을 구현할 수 있었다. 구현한 측정환경의 성능은 측정을 통하여 검증하였으며 소형 VHF대역 안테나 측정에 사용 가능할 것으로 판단된다.
