Radiation pattern characterization of antennas at millimeter-wave frequencies

Abstract

In this paper, we present a radiation pattern measurement setup for 60 GHz antennas available at the Université Nice-Sophia Antipolis. We especially detail the measurements of several antenna-types fabricated in different technologies and radiating in different directions. Our measurement setup is compared with state-of-the-art facilities. In the conclusion, we finally describe possible enhancements and future evolutions.
