Measuring monopole and dipole polarizability of acoustic meta-atoms
We present a method to extract monopole and dipole polarizability from
experimental measurements of two-dimensional acoustic meta-atoms. In contrast
to extraction from numerical results, this enables all second-order effects and
uncertainties in material properties to be accounted for. We apply the
technique to 3D-printed labyrinthine meta-atoms of a variety of geometries. We
show that the polarizability of structures with shorter acoustic path length
agrees well with numerical results. However, those with longer path lengths
suffer strong additional damping, which we attribute to the strong viscous and
thermal losses in narrow channels
Fully Coherent UAV-based Near-Field Measurement and Transformation of the S67-15 m Ground Station Antenna at the German Space Operations Center in Weilheim
Abstract—Fully coherent unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-based
near-field measurements of the S67 parabolic ground station
antenna in Weilheim, Germany at 2.063 92 GHz are presented.
The utilized measurement setup involves a vector network
analyzer (VNA), radio frequency optical fiber connections, a
laser tracking device (LT), and a specially designed light-weight
dual-polarized Vivaldi antenna. The measurement data has been
collected on a quasi-planar measurement surface in front of
the reflector and the far-field patterns are obtained by field
transformation from the irregular near-field data. Despite the
complexity of this outdoor measurement setup with full exposure
to varying weather conditions and the influence of the UAV on the
near-field probe antenna, the far-field results show remarkable
agreement with satellite based far-field measurement data
