METHOD FOR TESTING THE TRANSMISSION AND REFLECTION PROPERTIES OF AN AUTOMOTIVE RADOME BODY AS WELL AS APPARATUS FOR TESTING THE TRANSMISSION AND REFLECTION PROPERTIES OF AN AUTOMOTIVE RADOME BODY

摘要

A method for testing the transmission and reflection properties of an automotive radome body (26) is described. An automotive radome body (26) is placed at an installation location (24). A first signal is sent via at least one transmission antenna (16) of an antenna system (12) facing a first side (28) of the radome body (26) wherein the reflected part of the first signal is received by several receiving antennas (18) of the antenna system (12) facing the first side (28) in order to determine the reflection properties of the radome body (26). A second signal is sent via a remote transmission antenna (22) facing a second side (30) of the radome body (26) being opposite to the first side (28) wherein the transmitted part of the second signal is received by the several receiving antennas (18) of the antenna system (12) in order to determine the transmission properties of the radome body (26). Further, an apparatus (10) is described.
