Abstract :
This paper studies the recently introduced reflection coefficient-based method for antenna characterization. The method necessitates repeating the reflection coefficient measurement under different reflective loads in the near-field of the antenna under test. The method is experimentally demonstrated on a probe station at 60 GHz for the first time.
