Antenna design & measurement center

77 GHz dielectric rod antenna array with waveguide based feeding network

In order to precisely characterize antennas the LHFT operates an anechoic chamber (6×4 m2) incorporating a 4-axis positioning robot. Beside the capability to measure the radiation pattern in elevation and azimut direction, also area-scans in the near- and far-field are possible. Antenna gain measurements are possible with available standard gain antennas. Signal generation and analysis is possible up to 500 GHz.
