Testing Method of a Millimeter-Wave/THz Far-Field Antenna Measurement Setup

Abstract

This paper introduces the testing method of a millimeter-wave far-field antenna measurement setup in our lab. First, a brief introduction on how the signal travels and transforms in the devices is given. Then, the testing processes and the method to measure antennas’ impedance and gain pattern is revealed. Finally, a testing example is shown to validate the measurement capability. This paper is convinced to enrich the information about our setup to the research community and provide useful reference in millimeter-wave antenna measurements.
