DESIGN AND OPERATION OF A SURFACE FIELD MEASUREMENT FACILITY.
Abstract
The capability to measure surface fields induced upon scattering obstacles by an incident plane wave can be a very powerful diagnostic tool. A surface field measurement facility is comprized of four basic components: an anechoic chamber to provide a free space environment, a traversing mechanism to provide accurate probe positioning, the probe itself to sense the induced fields, and the necessary microwave instrumentation to permit the acquisition of data. All the components are required if meaningful measurements are to be made. The design and operation of a surface field measurement facility is described and some of the attendant problems are outlined. The investigation is part of the SURF program. (Author)
