Abstract

This chapter deals with a range of antenna radiation efficiency measurement methods and techniques: from the traditional to the state-of-the-art. The most widely used methods are discussed in details, along with their backgrounds and scientific foundations. The relevant measurement setup, procedure, and data processing techniques are also given. A comparison of these methods is made at the end of this chapter, and their advantages and limitations are identified.
