Simplified propagation channel characterization considering the disturbance of antennas in the case of a multipath cluster
Résumé
In this article, a simple approach of antenna calibration for the radio propagation channel measurements in the case of a multipath cluster is presented. The method is based on the concept of “power wave transfer functions.” Practical experiments are performed for the characterization of a multipath propagation channel using printed dipole antennas, quasi-Yagi antennas, and their array in the 2–3 GHz frequency range
