ABSTRACT
One of the accustomed procedures to characterize an antenna is evaluating the radiation pattern in an anechoic chamber or at least in a TEM cell. Besides avoiding the reflections, these devices allow a very precise measure of the radiation pattern by isolating the external interference. In this paper an alternative to characterize antennas without using anechoic chambers or TEM cells is discussed. An example of measures obtained by using this method is shared to show the potential of this technique. Additionally the measures are compared with the simulations results obtained with the simulation tool Computer Simulation Technology (CST).
