Hello expert,

Our customer want to start the 76GHz antenna and board design evaluation.

Then just want to know what measurement equipment is required for the antenna and board design.

Just only Spectrum analyzer is enough or need other equipment etc...

Can we provide the advise ?

Fujinaka-San,

For most customers, we would recomend using an RF anechoic chamber, a turn table (programmable is very usful), and a radar corner reflector.

For simple evaluation, a clean environment free of strong reflectors can be used with a radar corner reflector at a known distance and angle. I don't recomend this for measumements of record though. As those should always be done in an anechoic chamber.

You can follow the process as described in both of these application notes.
