Anechoic Range Design for Electromagnetic Measurements Electromagnetics Library

This exciting resource provides guidance on the proper design of indoor ranges for RF antenna measurements. The important aspects of specifying the range or resources needed in a development program are explored. Readers find in-depth coverage of range design and how to evaluate the error contributions of the range and the best approach to measure a system, antenna, or other radiating hardware.

The book provides information on selecting the right range to make a specific type of measurement and understanding for an RF absorber. MATLAB(R) scripts are also included to help estimate the performance of an RF absorber. Readers will also be able to estimate the required space for a given type of measurement, as well as identify what type of range is best, based on physical limitations and economics. Packed with examples and references, this book is a prime reference for any practitioner who uses or designs facilities for the measurement of electromagnetic energy.
