Antenna Measuraments with Robotic Arm

Background: Next-generation communication and sensing systems are moving toward millimeter-wave (mm-wave) frequencies, where antennas become very small and are often integrated in packages. These compact antennas require highly accurate radiation characterization, yet traditional anechoic chamber setups lack the flexibility needed to measure on complex grids. Robotic arms offer a suitable solution by enabling precise probe positioning along arbitrary trajectories with multi-axis motion, making them well suited for advanced mm-wave antenna measurements. This thesis focuses on exploring the flexibility provided by robotic-arm-based measurement systems for accurate radiation characterization of mm-wave antennas.

Master Thesis Project: 

• Near field measurement and characterization in arbitrary trajectories

• Measurements with an existing robotic-arm measurement system
