Description
Summary:Today, a number of engineering issues require electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) tests, in turn triggering the need for EMC-antenna calibrations. In this framework, experimenters seek accurate and time-saving solutions. Basically, standard site method (SSM) ANSI C63.5-2006 stipulates the near-to-ideal conditions on an empty and vast land, where three antennas are used for antenna factor determination. In our previous work, we investigated the suitability of narrow test sites for antenna calibration according to three-antenna SSM-ANSI-C63.5-2006, whose usability was validated under certain conditions. In the present study, we expand our research by applying the sub-cases of using a known antenna and identical antennas specified in the standard in order to shorten the calibration process. The results reveal that the methods for various calibrations are useful for successfully running the process even in non-ideal sites and help significantly reduce the experimentation time, considering the uncertainty limits specified in EMC test standards.
