Abstract

The setup for the radiation pattern measurement constructed at Technical University of Gdansk (TUG) is described. It consists of a MM-wave anechoic chamber and uses scalar network analyzer as a microwave receiver. The system is controlled by special HP-Vee program via GPIB interface. The results of experimental verification of properties of the system (repeatability, accuracy of side lobe level (SLL) measurement) showed that it can be successfully used for educational purposes as well as for some professional ones
