Anechoic chamber

The anechoic chamber is hosted by the Department in Electromagnetic Engineering. The anechoic chamber is used to characterise antenna, with high accuracy, from 2GHz-70GHz. In the chamber, there are no electromagnetic reflections (or echo), so the radiation pattern and gain of these antennas can be measured as well.

In addition to the conventional far-field measurements, our chamber is also equipped with a spherical near-field scanner. The chamber is used for both research and educational purposes. For example, we use the chamber to measure the radiation patterns of cube-sat antennas, or innovative metasurfaces and optically-transformed lenses.

The students can do hands-on labs in the chamber, where they measure antennas that were previously designed by them, during the course: Applied Antenna Theory and Project in Electromagnetic Engineering.
