This paper describes how commercially-available EMC biconical antennas can be used to perform high-resolution propagation measurements. A measurement procedure and signal processing sequence is described that greatly improves the range resolution and fidelity of transmission measurements using a pair of biconical antennas. Measurement results are provided for a number of different scenarios both indoors and outdoors. Direct comparisons are also provided with the Numerical Electromagnetics Code (NEC). The results obtained so far look quite promising and demonstrate the viability of the approach.

This paper describes a recent measurement effort conducted by the Institute for Telecommunication Sciences at a chamber located at the NASA Space Power Facility (SPF) in Sandusky, Ohio. The paper describes the chamber and the measurement system, and provides some selected time-and frequency-domain results. A detailed description of the measurement procedures and post-processing is provided. The results obtained indicate that the SPF chamber exhibits robust reverberant behavior. The flexibility and efficiency of timedomain measurements is also demonstrated.
