ABSTRACT
This paper presents background information and ex-
periment procedures for an antenna measurement
laboratory course to be held in a new anechoic cham-
ber at California Polytechnic State University. The lab
consists of five experiments and one design project
intended to give students practical experience with
antenna measurement techniques and to creatively
apply analytical skills to design, construct, and test
antennas that meet given specifications. The experi-
ments reinforce antenna principles including E-field
polarization, antenna gain, radiation patterns, image
theory, and frequency response.
