Abstract :
The purpose of this paper is to present a compact base using a dielectric lens of 500 mm diameter for large antenna measurements. The compact base has been simulated using an electromagnetic solver based on electric and magnetic field integral equations from France Telecom R&D. Studies were carried out at 94 and 77 GHz with different antenna configurations.
