Post processing techniques in 5G,
Automotive & Space antenna measurements
Abstract
This course is a fast pace introduction to modern applications of post-processing techniques to exploit the antenna measurement results.
Nowadays, the use of information from antenna under test, antenna measurement system and electromagnetic measurements results allow the improvement of those results for:
– xtraction of electromagnetic sources in the antenna surface.
– etection of errors in antenna design.
– mproving measurement results cancelling echoes, leakage, noise…
– xtrapolating the radiation pattern to unmeasured angles.
– ombination of measurements and simulations to emulate the effect of the environment.
Following a brief introduction to near and far field antenna measurements theory, the course will focus on these techniques. The second part of the course will be the explanation of the following techniques:
– ime gating techniques.
– xtraction of Equivalent sources through inverse electromagnetic problems.
– se of holographic techniques for extracting equivalent currents on a surface.
– iltering of measurement results using spherical or cylindrical near field modes expansion.
The third session will deal with different applications of those techniques. In this section, applications for BTS antennas, automotive
measurement, RADAR systems, satellite antennas will be shown.
The course outline is:
- heory and application of far-field and near field antenna measurements.
- quivalent currents using integral equation and holographic techniques.
- ime domain and time gating techniques.
- pherical and Cylindrical modes expansion and filtering of spurious signals.
- pplication in telecom, satellite, automotive and defense measurement scenarios.

Manuel Sierra-Castañer was born in 1970 in Zaragoza (Spain). He obtained the degree of Telecommunication Engineering in 1994 and the Ph.D. in 2000, both from the UPM in Spain.
Now he is full professor at UPM (Madrid). He has directed 8 Ph.D. Thesis. He has been visitor researcher in Tokyo Tech in 1998 and EPFL in 1999 during his Ph.D. and visitor Professor in Tokyo Tech during the summers of 2012 and 2013. Currently, he is Senior member of the IEEE and Fellow of AMTA. He has been member of EurAAP Delegate Assembly since 2012 (as leader of the
“Measurements” group, regional delegate, director of
the Board and EurAAP vice-chairman since beginning 2019). He represents UPM in the Board of the European School of Antennas. Since 2015 until end of 2019 he has been the AMTA Europe liaison. He has been vice-chair of EuCAP2010 and 2015 (also TPC chair), and will be the general chair for EuCAP2022.
