Popis: Antenna measurement inside an anechoic chamber can significantly suffer from measurement inaccuracy due to the scattering from the shielding walls and internal structures, if the space is not sufficiently large and the absorbers have not significantly reduced the multipath signals, which raises multipath interference. This paper develops a hybrid scheme that integrates the concepts of signal processing techniques including time gating, matrix pencil and multiple signal classification methods to reduce the multipath effects and improve the measurement accuracy. Characteristic comparison between individual method as well as the hybrid scheme will be performed based on experimental examinations.
