Abstract :
A high quality circularly polarized antenna is tested with linear polarizations in an anechoic chamber which features some unintentional multipath reflections. A differential measurement method is used to reduce the effects of the multipath and determine the circularly polarized patterns. The results are compared with measurements conducted in a high quality chamber.
