What does absorber placed around a patch under test achieve?

  • A.It increases the measured gain by preventing power from escaping sideways
  • B.It shields the antenna from reflections arriving from the chamber walls
  • C.It cools the antenna during high power measurements on the range
  • D.It suppresses the edge diffraction that ripples the pattern

Answer: D

Absorber at the board edge attenuates the surface and creeping waves before they can diffract, so the measured pattern is closer to that of an infinite ground plane. It costs a little gain rather than adding any. Chamber wall reflections are dealt with by absorber on the walls, and thermal management is not a pattern measurement concern. Treating the antenna's own structure as a source of unwanted radiation, and absorbing it, is a standard measurement technique.
