A New Hybrid Chamber for Generating a Spectrum of Oblique Incident Plane Waves at the DUT
Journal: IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation

A novel type of hybrid measurement facility comprising a chamber antenna array (CAA) inside an overmoded waveguide (WG) is proposed and analyzed numerically. The reflecting walls of the metal rectangular WG are used in conjunction with a CAA to synthesize obliquely incident plane-wave (PW) fields at the device under test (DUT). This enables increased flexibility in emulating almost any PW multipath testing conditions in the WG chamber without the high cost and complexity of classical anechoic me
