Anechoic chamber
The anechoic chamber is used to characterise antenna, with high accuracy, from 2GHz-70GHz. The chamber is used for both research and educational purposes.
The anechoic chamber is hosted by the Department in Electromagnetic Engineering. The anechoic chamber is used to characterise antenna, with high accuracy, from 2GHz-70GHz. In the chamber, there are no electromagnetic reflections (or echo), so the radiation pattern and gain of these antennas can be measured as well.
In addition to the conventional far-field measurements, our chamber is also equipped with a spherical near-field scanner. The chamber is used for both research and educational purposes. For example, we use the chamber to measure the radiation patterns of cube-sat antennas, or innovative metasurfaces and optically-transformed lenses.
The students can do hands-on labs in the chamber, where they measure antennas that were previously designed by them, during the course: Applied Antenna Theory and Project in Electromagnetic Engineering.
