Microwave seminar | 19 July 2021

In this short presentation, I talk about some practical microwave measurement techniques. I consider the far-field measurements of the extinction cross-section, the usage of our RF power amplifier to enhance the signal-to-noise ratio, and the method for measurement of radiation patterns of electrically small low-efficiency antennas.
