Optimization of the TRP Evaluation in Anechoic-Reverberation Hybrid Chamber

A hybrid, reconfigurable anechoic-reverberation antenna measurement chamber has recently been introduced. The chamber is developed for fast characterization of the active antenna radiated power and directive characteristics in a single measurement environment. In the present work, we propose optimizations of the hybrid chamber design in the configuration that uses E-field scanner. Introducing the wedge reflector in the chamber allows for a reduction in the total number of acquisition samples four times compared to λ/2 spaced scan during the total radiated power (TRP) measurements.
