Review of Recent Advances and Future Challenges in Antenna Measurement
关键词:
Antenna measurement, field acquisition, post processing techniques摘要
This paper reviews the last advances in Antenna Measurement Field that took place during the previous years in order to analyse the challenges for the antenna measurement community, both industrial and academic, for the future years. The paper begins with an introductory review of the antenna measurement methodologies innovations, continuing with measurement systems technical improvements and concluding with the challenges for the antenna measurement community in the close future.
