Why are handset antennas tested with standardised phantoms?

  • A.Performance depends strongly on the nearby human tissue
  • B.The phantom provides a mechanical fixture for the measurement equipment
  • C.Regulations require a physical model of a user to be present in the room
  • D.The phantom shields the antenna from reflections in the test chamber

Answer: A

Because a hand and head change the impedance, the pattern and the efficiency by amounts that dominate the design, a measurement in free space says little about performance in use. Standard liquid filled phantoms make results comparable between laboratories. Mechanical fixturing and chamber reflections are handled separately, and the requirement is for representative loading rather than for a model of a user as such. Measuring a device in conditions resembling its use is a principle that extends well beyond antennas.
