Time-Gating Technique to Emulate New Scenarios

This paper presents the applicability of using the time-gating technique to propagation measurements in order to recreate new scenarios. This technique, which has been studied previously in antenna measurements, is applied in propagation measurements to modify and tune the reflections that a particular propagation scenario exhibits. A new configuration for shielded chambers is proposed, where half of the chamber is covered with absorbers (anechoic chamber) and half without absorbers (reverberation chamber). This configuration and the time-gating technique allow the study of the propagation environment for the new recreated scenarios.
