The Measurable Range Issue In The Measurement Of Enhanced Backscatter Coefficient In A Reverberation Chamber

In reverberation chamber measurements, the enhanced backscatter coefficient (e(b)) is very important for antenna efficiency calibration and chamber validations. However, at higher frequencies, when the cable loss is high, it is difficult to measure e(b) accurately. We analyze and quantify this effect by using a 8-term error model in this paper; Monte Carlo simulations are performed to validate the model.
