Time-domain pulsed measurements of the NASA Space Power Facility

Abstract

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.
