Acquisition of Planar Near Field Scanner for Antenna Measurements Research

康考迪亚大学的电气和计算机工程系（ECE）寻求NSERC的支持，以获得近场天线范围平面扫描仪，该扫描仪将致力于支持正在进行的天线研究，特别是近场聚焦天线，反射阵列和相控阵列。该设备将用于研究大孔径和大型平面相控阵天线的新型创新天线，包括介质谐振器天线，印刷天线和雷达/传感器天线的研究项目。 之所以需要这种仪器，是因为欧洲经委会目前没有能力进行大口径天线测量。一般来说，康科迪亚缺乏足够的微波设备，这是至关重要的成功，其研究计划和培训有研究生在电磁应用领域。目前，新的和创新的大口径天线的设计和建造正在计划中，需要进行全面的测试来验证设计。

The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) at Concordia University seeks support from NSERC to acquire near-field antenna range planar scanner, which will be dedicated to support ongoing research on antennas particularly near filed focusing antennas, reflect array, and phased arrays. The equipment will be used to pursue studies of new, innovative antennas of large aperture and large planar phased array antennas for research projects, including studies of dielectric resonator antennas, printed antennas, and radar/sensor antennas. This instrumentation is needed because ECE does not currently have capability for large aperture antenna measurements. Generally, Concordia lacks the sufficient microwave equipment that are crucial for the success of its research program and for training there graduate students in the field of electromagnetic applications. Currently, design and construction of new and innovative large aperture antennas are in plan, and full-scale testing is needed for design validation.
