Abstract :
This paper introduces and analyses the results of a measurement campaign to characterize the Quiet Zone of an Antenna Test Chamber based on a Built-It-Yourself concept. The characterization is based on the well-known Voltage Standing Wave Ratio method with an emphasis on the time domain analysis. The paper proposes a procedure to deal with measurements of this kind which shall simplify the measurement campaign.
