Time filtering techniques for echo reduction in antenna measurements

摘要

This paper presents a review of the time filtering methods to eliminate echo in antenna measurements. Two different methods, FFT and Matrix Pencil, are compared and simulated in a Planar Near Field (PNF) where other effects, such as aliasing, can happen if the simulation is not carefully carried out. Finally both time gating methods are applied to different real measurement of several antennas in different antenna measurement systems.
