Antenna Bench - RF Cafe Forums

RF Cafe Forums closed its virtual doors in late 2012 mainly due to other social media platforms dominating public commenting venues. RF Cafe Forums began sometime around August of 2003 and was quite well-attended for many years. By 2012, Facebook and Twitter were overwhelmingly dominating online personal interaction, and RF Cafe Forums activity dropped off precipitously. Regardless, there are still lots of great posts in the archive that ware worth looking at. Below are the old forum threads, including responses to the original posts. Here is the full original RF Cafe Forums on Archive.org

Hello,

I'm a student in RF. I have to realize a measurement bench to measure and simulate an antenna comportment, and extern influences so that to be able to predict performances, and i have to create the whole protocole. I'd like to know if some one have some clues about how to begin my investigation, and where to get informations about possibly interferences on performances.

Thank You very much.

Franck

Greetings RF-Ban:

As with for most topics, there is a huge amount of information available on antenna testing and simulation. Here are a few suggestions for finding that data, many of which you may have already tried.

- Google Search (probably how you ended up on RF Cafe)

. https://www.google.com/custom?domains=ww ... sitesearch

- Antenna and test equipment vendor websites

. Antenna Vendor List -

. https://www.rfcafe.com/vendors/components/antennas.htm

. Test Equipment Vendor List -

. https://www.rfcafe.com/vendors/component ... ipment.htm

. Shielded Enclosure Vendors -

. https://www.rfcafe.com/vendors/component ... hields.htm

- Posting on Forums (as you already have)

Hopefully, others here or on other forums will offer some you some advice. You might want to provide more specific questions rather than ask such a broad question.
